Yes, assume they will find out and tell them yourself.
Your senior courses were listed on your applications, and your counselor sends a midyear report and a final transcript that show what you actually took. A dropped course is visible there either way, so the only choice is whether it arrives with an explanation from you or without one.
1. Talk to your counselor before you drop. Ask what replaces it and whether a W appears on the transcript.
2. Email each college's admissions office (or use its portal's update form): one paragraph, the change, the reason, what you are taking instead.
3. If you are already admitted somewhere, read the offer letter. Many say significant schedule changes must be reported.One class changing usually does not change an outcome, especially with a good reason. An unexplained change on a final transcript is what leads to awkward letters in July.
Before dropping, ask the teacher about extra help or a grade plan. Sometimes it is one bad unit.
