I graduated HS in 2010 and attended a CC for 2 semesters and then stopped…that was years ago, now I’m at a different CC getting ready for transfer. Do I need to list that first CC I attended even though it was years ago? (I don’t even remember the classes I took there, it’s been so long)…anyone have an answer?
Yes, you have to list all of the colleges you have attended. It doesn’t matter if it was years ago.
oh, Thank you
Absolutly do not leave that out. You can send for a copy of the transcripts yourself. They school will transfer any classes that are transferable but they also need to see there was no problem or dismissal etc. To leave this information off is considered a false application no matter how long ago. FWIW, my parents both got credit 20+ years later from their old CC.
oh wow, OK. I’ll definitely have to send for transcripts now
You can even probably look up your unofficial transcript online, if you’re able to figure out your student ID number and your PIN.
I’ve had to do this for schools I went to 10 years ago. Some are easier than others, but you shouldn’t have any issues.
If you didn’t do well at your old college consider academic renewal.
