I am currently contemplating taking P/NC or to withdraw from my Human Parasitology course which is not a required course for my major. I am a senior so I am concerned that given it's my last year, it may be looked down upon. This would be my first P/NC or W on my entire transcript through 4 years. For an explanation, I recently switched my job to 11PM to 7AM, and given that the course is at 8AM, I have been missing classes or falling asleep during the class since from the previous day I would have been awake for nearly 24 hours straight. Would this be a reasonable explanation to receive a P/NC or W? Should I even take a P/NC or W at all?
 
Is there an option to not have a P or W and have it somehow not appear on the transcript? I'd opt for that if it didn't affect graduation.
 
P if you know that you will not get an NC (seen equivalent to failing). If you’re unsure, take the W
