Banks asking for transcripts at start date

Im seeing if i need to drop a class or not.

Do i need to give an updated transcript when the internship starts? Or no?

Thanks

Based on the WSO Dataset, it's common for banks to request transcripts at various stages of the recruitment and onboarding process, including at the start of an internship. While the context doesn't specify every bank's policy on updated transcripts at the start of an internship, it's a safe practice to be prepared to provide the most current version of your academic transcript when requested. This could include after making changes such as dropping a class. It's always best to maintain transparency and provide the most up-to-date information to avoid any discrepancies that could affect your standing or opportunities within the internship. If you're considering dropping a class and are concerned about how it might impact your internship, it might also be a good idea to reach out directly to the HR department or your recruiter at the bank for specific guidance. Good luck!
