Advice needed please

<p>I am a student at a university and have been for 1.5 years now. I failed (suspension) out of a rather large university my freshman year (I became depressed)and after going home and comtemplating my options i started community college.I enrolled as a transfer student and explained to the advisor that I did so poorly that no transcripts would transfer and that I still owed money so I wouldn't be able to get them anytime soon. They said ok and enrolled me in classes. I did ok and transferred to a smaller four year school after a year of community college. I didn't included my freshman year school attendance for two reasons:
Still owed money and couldn't get my transcripts
Did very poorly and figured I wouldn't be admitted</p>

<p>Over time I've done quite a bit of growing up and some therapy. I feel the need to come clean to my current institution about my previous attendance at a another school because I've finally found something I'm good at and enjoy. I don't want to be a fraud however while doing it. Are there any words of wisdom anyone can give? I'm going to fess up because I know it's the right thing to do but is there anything I can say to keep from maybe getting kicked out (although I am aware that it may happen)? I would graduate in december but I don't want to get a degree this way. I have worked hard to earn the credits to get it from scratch but realize it was wrong and they may have never given me a chance to enter if I had of told the truth. so before they give it to me I want to come clean.</p>

<p>Honestly I commend you for growing up and working towards your degree. I had that same problem with no being able to pay off debt i owed the previous school i attended before i transferred.
However, that is a serious situation you got yourself into. I think the law clearly states you would have to pay that debt off to even consider registering to a another university. Since you were able to manage that i am not sure what the school would consider since you technically falsified your information. I would probably pose a hypothetical question to someone who works in admissions/or whoever in the administration to see their response.</p>
