Do I have to list college class taken during the summer?

Applying to College
1

<p>I tried taking a college class over the summer while I was still a high school student but failed the class. Do I still have to list it on my UC application. Is there any way that those colleges could find out?</p>

<p>Yes, you must list the course. Yes, the colleges will find out if you lie and conceal the information when you apply.</p>

<p>Begin by re-reading the statement of application integrity you agree to when you submit your UC application:

</a></p>

<p>Then note the following:

<p>How will they know? The UCs will check the [National</a> Student Clearinghouse](<a href=“http://www.studentclearinghouse.org/]National”>http://www.studentclearinghouse.org/) which maintains enrollment records for virtually all accredited colleges and universities. It will show your enrollment and they will ask that you submit a transcript. If you had been accepted by the UC without that information, it is very likely that your admission would be rescinded when your deception was discovered. </p>

<p>Report the grade and briefly explain the circumstances in the additional information section. That will have far less negative impact than concealing the information until after acceptance.</p>

<p>I see that you have already asked this question <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1581466-failed-college-class-during-summer-should-i-still-list-uc-app.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/1581466-failed-college-class-during-summer-should-i-still-list-uc-app.html&lt;/a&gt; just a few days ago and already received the same answer. Did you expect that things had changed? </p>

<p>Definitely re-read the application integrity statement.</p>

<p>Will I also have to send transcripts for this class? Or only if they ask?</p>

<p>Transcripts must be sent AFTER acceptance to a UC and AFTER high school graduation. Your high school transcript must contain a notation that you graduated. They must be sent by July 1st, 2014.</p>

<p>All transcripts for all coursework must be submitted - this is not optional, it is a requirement (and will remain a requirement every time you apply to/enter a college or university in the future).</p>

<p>Ok, thanks. You have convinced to do the right thing and live up to the past. Hopefully I will still get into a good UC.</p>
