<p>Hi,
I live in Dallas and I am an International student. The last 2 semesters, I did pretty bad due to my illness , i had kidney stones so I missed a lot of classes and i did not do well on the tests. So my GPA is really low now. I really want to make a fresh start at another college but I know that I have to send them my transcript in order to transfer to another college. I wonder if there are any other ways I can apply to a new college without showing them my transcript? Thank you so much
Ps: I've been staying in this college for 2 years and i have taken enough credit. I can not stay here any longer to retake the classes in order to improve my grades :"(</p>
<p>No. You cannot apply to another college without sending all transcripts from previous institutions attended. To do otherwise constitutes academic fraud and is grounds for expulsion.</p>
<p>You should attach a letter explaining your medical problems, preferably backed up with documentation from your doctor.</p>
<p>I would talk to the school you’re currently in and if you can appeal to make your previous semesters grade an Incomplete or N/A then that wouldn’t affect your GPA. Also, maybe a trade tech school or like a forprofit school will not require transcripts</p>
<p>In the United States there’s a national system organized to check this exact thing. Many applicants to new schools have tried to bury old transcripts. But, they’ve been caught through this system.</p>
