<p>I took three courses at a community college, and got straight B's. What happens if I decide not to tell my colleges that I even enrolled at a community college during high school?</p>
<p>Are they on your transcript?</p>
<p>If your four year college discovers you did not disclose those classes you could be rescinded. If it is discovered later you could be expelled.</p>
<p>they’re not on my high school transcript or anything else I’m sending…</p>
<p>Although not on your HS transcript, they are here:</p>

<p>Contrary to the opinion most people will give you on CC, I personally do not think it would be a problem you didn’t report the college courses. What college would rescind a stuse t based on not reporting college classes (which they had OK grades in)? It seems illogical. I mean maybe you shouldn’t risk it but if you are really uncomfortable about it I don’t see how they would find out or care if they did. Just realize that if yoU don’t report them then you can’t try to get transfer credit later.</p>
<p>Because you’re required to send the everything in…The rest of the country is not California 
</p>
<p>I mean, what if you could just not send grades from high school you didn’t like? It’s not ethical.</p>
<p>If you received financial aid at the community college and are planning to receive financial aid elsewhere, then yes you will need to send your transcript. If not, look up the FERPA act. Your grades and the schools you attended are your private business. No one has any right to know (no, really) but if you apply to a school, you are consenting to disclose ALL your information. Also, beware on the Common App, there is a place where it says you want to “wave your FERPA rights”. Do NOT do that. If you are receiving financial aid at your new institution and you did at the Community college then you’re SOL because part of your award is based on college credits and how well you did in them. It will flag you and financial aid will want them from admissions, they won’t have them, they’ll contact you and you’re screwed. In additon to that, I’d say you’re also probably safe because you’re applying as a freshman. They would be more likely to verify transfers than freshmen. That’s all. Just do your homework. Google FERPA.</p>
<p>When you apply for admission to any accredited community college, 4-year college, or university in the US, you are obligated to provide official copies of your transcripts from every single community college, 4-year college, and university in the US that you have ever studied at. In my case, this means seven (yes 7) different sets of transcripts, some of which are more than 30 years old.</p>
<p>This has less to do with you as an individual, than it has to do with the institutional record-keeping needs of the cc/college/university involved. The next time the cc/college/university is up for accreditation, the team that reviews the filing system could pull your personal file out, find that one old transcript is missing, and then threaten to pull the cc/college/university’s accreditation. Believe me, the cc/college/university would much rather not admit you, or kick you out, or rescind your degree because YOU didn’t submit a transcript, than risk losing their accreditation.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about your cc grades not looking “good enough”. You earned Bs in real, true, college-level classes while you were still only in HS! Not something to be remotely ashamed of!</p>
