<p>Hi, I'm a rising senior and was wondering if community college transcripts must be reported reported to the undergraduate colleges one applies to. That is, if you took the community college class(es) while still in high school. Does anybody have an answer to this? Thanks.</p>
<p>Well, you are supposed to, but if you took at least the minimum required high school courses (that is, you took at least 5 to 6 high school classes in addition to your college class) and you never submit the Community College grades to your 4-year college where you are applying, how will they know?</p>
<p>The only way is if the fact that you are taking college courses is listed on your high school transcript. So just check if your high school does this or not and then you have your answer.</p>
<p>You are supposed to submit transcripts of grades from all institutions where you took a class, most definitely including community college courses. If the college were to find out you didn't submit certain grades after you were admitted, it might have negative consequences.</p>
<p>there are two exceptions:
unless your community college course is crosslisted on your hs transcript somehow
or
you did not list that you took jc courses on your college application</p>
<p>My comment was that you are supposed to. I was pointing out that the choice to do so or not is always up to the individual (ever heard of free will?).</p>
<p>I've heard that if the college finds out that you didn't send it in, they will rescind your acceptance. Or that's what my assistant principal said.</p>
<p>That is their option. And I've also heard of it happening.</p>
<p>A previous thread on here asked if that was just an urban legend. People then wrote in saying it happened to them, and two people posted links to newspaper articles about this and also about people whose acceptances were rescinded when they let their senior grades drop precipiteously. (The schools in the article were Univ of Washington and UCLA).</p>
<p>In the UCLA article, the UCLA adcom said they routinely do a random check on ECs people claimed in their aps. They said they rescinded or rejected about 40 people each year who they would have accepted, but whose ECs were inflated over actual accomplishments. (They said they rescinded the acceptances of 75 students due to bad senior grades).</p>
<p>And what does that have to do with not telling the college about community college grades...?</p>
<p>The applications specifically ask if you've attended any colleges, and then asks you to list the courses and the grades.</p>
<p>You then certify at the end of the application that it is complete and true.</p>
<p>If you leave off the community college courses, you're lying. And if they find out, they very well may either revoke your acceptance or expel you once you're there.</p>
<p>If you received any financial aid for those courses, and then apply for financial aid at the colleges, they'll find out.</p>
<p>And of course if you don't report them, you can't later apply for credit for having taken them.</p>
<p>This is just great then...does the common app ask for the "if you've attended any colleges, and then asks you to list the courses and the grades." or is that just for the University of California applications? or is it all colleges?</p>
<p>It's the Common App (or at least it asked that last year). I don't know about the UC's.</p>
