It can be challenging to know if you should list your college experience on your resume if you didn't graduate. You should still include information about your time in college even if you didn't earn a degree. However, you need to list it in a way that detract from the skills and qualifications you've built up in the rest of your document.
There are small differences in how you should describe your education depending on if you are still in school or not. If you are still enrolled and planning to graduate, you can describe your in-progress degree like this:
Bachelor of Arts in Communication
University of Colorado
Anticipated graduation: May 2020
If you didn't complete your degree and aren't currently enrolled in a program, the format is a little different. It looks like this:
Completed 95 credits toward Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
2001-2003
Both of these options make it clear that you have spent time in college. This can show employers you have some formal training without lying on your resume about a degree you don't possess. Follow additionalexpert tips for your education section to make sure it's ready to impress.
