<p>I don't understand this part of the Common App. I'm an international homeschooled student who took some Open University (like a part-time college, I think) courses a while back, but I don't think they count for credit at US universities. Should I list them in this section or not?</p>
<p>Also, should I list them in the "List all other secondary schools, including summer schools as well as summer and other programs, you have attended, beginning with 9th grade" section? I took long-distance courses that lasted about 6 months, and I wasn't taught by anyone else - I just had to send in some dissertations at the end so my courses could be graded.</p>
<p>I think they want all. All colleges and unis which would include your Open U., even if you think they won’t transfer as credit, you took them for credit.</p>
<p>Same with your long-distance courses for secondary school. List everything. It will show you took control of your education, and sought outside opportunities.</p>
<p>Oh… I meant that the Open University courses were long-distance. Sorry, I typed it unclearly.</p>
<p>Also, they ask that the OU send my grades/transcript - but I took the courses a while back and I’m not sure if they still have my record. Can I just send copies of the official certificates of my grades I was sent?</p>
