Degree Application - Previous Colleges Attended

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello everybody and thanks for checking out my post. I'm a CC student applying for an AA degree. The AA/AS Application Form at my school has a section regarding previous colleges and universities attended. It states that all transcripts must be on file with my current school. </p>

<p>A few years back I attended another local community college. I did poorly and it would be my preference not to list that other school.</p>

<p>I did not transfer over any credits from that other school when I began attending my current college. My question would be if I am either legally or morally obligated to disclose that information. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Seems pretty straightforward. It doesn’t matter if you transferred credits or not, they are asking for transcripts for any colleges you attended. Colleges search for a student’s attendance history here:</p>

<p>If the college finds out that you lied about your record, they can deny/revoke your degree.</p>

<p>To anyone else who may be in a similar situation, check with a counselor at your campus for a definitive answer. I was informed that since I did not transfer over any credits that listing previous colleges and submitting transcripts was not required. Just to note so there is no confusion. Listing a previous college on my AA degree application was not required since I didn’t transfer any credits; however, when transferring schools one is always obligated to disclose that information because it is relevant to the admission process. Good luck folks and I hope I helped anyone who read this.</p>
