Contacted regarding omitted transcripts

<p>After two years at one CC, there was one year that I moved away for family reasons and attended a different cc. This past year, i attended the origincal cc i went to again and applied for transfer. UC admissions contacted me asking for unofficial transcripts regarding that one year stating they had it on record. I sent them the unofficial transcript. Will I automatically be denied for this?</p>

<p>So, you didn’t report a year’s worth of courses from that other CC on the UC App? </p>

<p>If that’s the case, it sounds pretty likely that you’ll be rejected (hopefully only that). The UC’s really do frown on failing to report grades on the application and at worse they reserve the right to ban those applicants from applying to the UCs in future cycles. I think you may have been okay if it were just one course or just one term and it was a long time prior to your most recent term at the original CC (say you returned back to school after years working), but it sounds fairly recent so that’s definitely not a good thing. </p>

<p>What you have in your favor though is that you’ve now sent in those transcripts, so it’s not like you’re trying to further hide those grades. In these situations, probably the worst thing you can do is ignore it and not respond because then they might exercise that extending ban so that you can’t even apply in future years. That being said, it’s just a waiting game now, there’s isn’t really a huge precedent for these situations, so there’s no telling what will happen. Did they ask for an explanation of any sort? If you had a compelling reason why you didn’t report them, they’ll may overlook it and just factor in those grades.</p>

<p>You didn’t mention the other school on your UC app?</p>

<p>No they did not ask for anything except the transcript. The UC page wont let you submit without writing something so i noted that it was the year i was working on behalf of my father which i did mention as the reason for the one year gap in my records.</p>

<p>I think it really depends on what grades you got for the year you omitted. If you had decent grades then they will probably assume it was just a mistake and that you weren’t trying to hide anything.</p>

<p>If you got poor grades then they will probably assume you were trying to hide those and that’s a big deal. It says on the UC app that you must submit all classes you’ve taken at all colleges, not just the most recent or the one you attended the longest. </p>

<p>Also when you submit your app you are agreeing that all information you have provided is accurate and complete. </p>

<p>I don’t know your circumstances so I won’t assume anything, but if you really did try to omit grades then you deserve to be rejected/banned from applying. It’s unfair to all of the other applicants who actually followed the rules. </p>

<p>If not then definitely do your best to explain why the mistake was made. Good luck!</p>

<p>I had a similar situation. However, I ommited grades accidentally and it was 10+ years ago. I wrote letters to all the UC’s I applied to and included the unofficial transcripts. After I realized I made the mistake, I seriously debated informing the schools because it was so long ago and would crush my 3.93 GPA. My integrity got the best of me, and as mentiined I notified all UC’s of my mistake. While I am yet to see if doing the right thing pays off,reading this post makes me realize I did the right thing.</p>

<p>well the grades are not bad. and the thing is, when i applied last, i did submit those grades, and got accepted. here’s how my life went.</p>

<p>two years of ccA.
one year at another, ccB.
Another year at ccA, applied with the year at ccB submitted, got accepted, couldnt go because of personal reasons.
now another year at ccA, applied, again, and here i am.</p>

<p>I didnt submit because i have so many units, i just didnt need them. And it was an odd year.</p>

<p>I guess I am just slightly confused as to how you thought the school that already received your information the first time around, would not wonder why it was missing the second time. That being said, I think being proactive is the best possible approach at this point. There is not really a whole lot you can say at this point. Just send them what they ask for. If it was good enough to get you in the first time, then it would not make much sense to hide it the second time. So, maybe they will just look at it like a simple oversight on your part. Good Luck.</p>

<p>I really hope so. As you can see, my path has been so long already. Im committed to my education and i hope they can see as much</p>
