Planned course work on transcripts?

Hello guys,
I registered for two upper biology classes for the fall, but theres a chance that I will not through with it because I have graduated from the university this spring and financial reason. I also dont want to drop it now because the classes are full and I might want to go through with it. Should I still listed it on the application since it will show on the official transcripts anyway?
In addition, My university still hasn't finished with their degree audits, should I still send out the transcript without the graduation date on it? does it matter at all?
Thank you.

Don't put it down if you're not planning to actually take it, that's a tad dishonest. Put the closest thing to what you're actually going to do.

I would say no. There's one school I was considering applying to but needed one extra class I didn't have, so I called them up and asked about it. She told me not to put it down in the planned classes because even if a different school doesn't require it, they may make your acceptance contingent upon finishing that class. Instead she told me to either mention it in the supplemental for that specific school or not to mention it at all.

TL;DR: Don't put it down in planned unless you're sure you're going to take it.

Thanks for the info, I had the same question. What do you mean by "supplemental for that school"?

Umm like the secondaries each school requires. Secondary, supplemental, etc same thing

Got ya, thanks. Aren't many of those pretty standardized though? Like is there a place on them to discuss your coursework?

I've never applied before so don't take my word for it, but I think there's usually a portion where you can discuss any other comments you have. You can always just email the admissions office so it's documented if you'd rather though. I don't think this is something I would stress over though.
