How to submit community college "district" transcripts and fill out commonapp?

Applying to College
1

Hey guys,
If needed, I’m going to be reaching out to colleges about this but before I do so I just wanted to be armed with some information.

I submitted my Rutgers application (and all supporting materials) by their deadline. On the application portal it states that they have received "Prior College Transcript Updated Including Courses and Grades Through December, 2016 "

However, their portal also says they are missing the transcripts from the two colleges I indicated on the Rutgers application. Technically, they are all part of a district so the transcript goes from one place with all the college information on it. I guess because of this, the transcript does not correspond with the self-filled information on the application even though I’m following all the directions. Has anybody experienced this before? I’m wondering whether on the commonapp I should just say “____ Community College District” and list all of my grades under one district vs individually adding the schools within the district. I know some of you may just tell me to call/email the schools in question, but because I can only submit the commonapp once I just wanted to see if anybody had experienced this sort of thing before, and what they did to remedy it. The transcripts were sent to almost all of my schools via their online system so I couldn’t include any sort of letter clarifying the issue.

Thanks in advance,
Phil

I attended several different colleges to get my degree because I enrolled wherever I happened to be living. I completed my bachelor’s at college #4. I’m currently taking prereqs at college #5 for a masters. Even though all my transfer credits are listed on the transcript from college #4, I still had to send official trancripts from colleges #1-3. But each college was a separate school.

Yours sounds more like one school that has several branch campuses. If that’s the case, I’d list the main college. Which branch you took each class at wouldn’t matter. Have you checked with your current school to find out how students normally list them? Your transfer office should be able to help.

They all have the same grading scale, same rules, same counselors, etc so maybe you’re right about that. I haven’t asked. I’ll email my counselor and see if she has any input but historically the administrative staff at my school is useless.
