When a class is dropped, the grades do not appear on the transcript of the student. The whole class is removed. In a withdrawal, the grades appear as “WF” or “WP” on the transcript of the student.
Sadly, in academia, there's also the word “Withdraw.” Withdrawing means you drop a class after the allowed add/drop period ends. You won't receive a grade for the class, but a “W” will show up on your transcript, indicating that you were not doing well in the course and essentially quit the class.
Failing & Then Re-Taking a Class Croskey notes that dropping a class is better than withdrawing, but withdrawing is better than failing. “A failing grade will lower the student's GPA, which may prevent a student from participating in a particular major that has a GPA requirement,” Croskey says.

If you waitlist a class, then you are putting your name in a prioritized list of crashers. As students drop the class, you will be automatically bumped up the list. In order to crash a closed class (all spaces in the class and the waitlist are filled), you must attend the first class meeting. Let the instructor know you are not enrolled and wish to “crash” the class. If there are no-shows (enrolled students who don’t claim their seats) or withdrawals (enrolled students who decide the class is not what they want), you may be allowed to enroll. There are no guarantees on whether or not a student will be successful in crashing a class. For more on waitlists and permission codes, click here.

If you drop a course before the week 3 Final Study List deadline, it disappears cleanly from your transcript as though you had never been enrolled. However, after week 3 you no longer have the option to drop a course cleanly from your record. Instead, you may choose to withdraw from a course up through the Course Withdrawal Deadline on the Friday of week 8. In this case, the class remains on your record and a notation of “W” (for Withdraw) is recorded on your transcript for that course in place of a grade.
