<p>Hey all. I'm currently at a community college trying to get my grades up so I can transfer out to a four-year school this fall. Before coming to this cc, I was at a four-year school before that and obviously didn't do too well. Anyways, I still owe the first school a significant amount of money (don't ask) and they're withholding my transcripts until I pay the debt off. </p>
<p>Of course, future schools want to see all the transcripts of the school you've been too, but I don't know how to go about telling them that I can't send it to them knowing it's required. I guess I won't be able to apply anywhere, huh?</p>
<p>Did credit from your four-year transfer to your community college? If not, you don't need a transcript from the four-year. I feel like otherwise, you're screwed though. Most colleges don't want to admit people that might not pay their tuition...</p>
<p>Yeah, none of the credit from my first school transferred since I never submitted that transcript to my current school so it's like I started over. One of my friends suggested I just send my schools a letter explaining the situation. I'm hoping that could possibly help.</p>
<p>What I'm saying is, if you don't mind losing the credit from your original institution, you could forget you ever went there and transfer w/o a fancy explanation.</p>
<p>I wouldn't lie about it...you can really get yourself in trouble that way...</p>
<p>Were you dismissed from the 4-year school or just suspended?</p>
<p>If you lie to potential colleges and they find out, they can kick you out and make it very hard for you ever to redeem yourself academically again!</p>
<p>I would really suggest just transferring into an associates program in your CC and once you get your AA/AS (and pay off your debt while you are at it...) you can apply for a 4-year college. This will show the university that you can stick to something and be financially responsible. Most state schools will pretty much automatically admit students with associate degrees...</p>
<p>My fiance has a similar problem, but not in financial trouble with the four-year university. Let me know if you have any questions...I have experience with sticky problems like this...</p>
