<p>Hey guys,
I am currently attending CCC and going to apply to UC's/CSU's for Computer Engineering major. Before I started going to community college I went to a private college(Western Career College) for A.S. degree in Criminal Justice. My question is do I need to list the private college on the UC/CSU application? Because none of the courses taken at the private school is transferable to UC's. My main concern is the National Student Clearinghouse check done by UC's. Would a private school show up on the Clearinghouse check? Thanks for the help.</p>

<p>Always include everything. Leave it up to the admission counselors to decide if your previous coursework is irrelevant to your current application. You will have a nagging anxiety if you choose to omit certain information from your application. Don’t do it</p>
<p>You are required to report any courses you took at any post-secondary school and failure to do so is considered academic dishonesty and grounds for rejecting your application when applying to any of the UC/CSU campuses. </p>
<p>Participation in the National Student Clearinghouse is voluntary on the part of the colleges and universities. All of the UCs, CSUs, CCCs and probably all non-profit private colleges in California are members and use this service when screening applications. Western Career College is not really a private college in the sense that Stanford or Notre Dame are; It is a for-profit entity that may have reasons why they would not want to participate in the National Student Clearinghouse. They really do not care who they admit and probably do not want to further antagonize their former students by informing on them. Nevertheless, since applicants who previously attended these types of schools and then try to conceal that fact are most likely the applicants that the UC and the CSU least want on their campuses, they have probably developed measures, which are not publicized, that they can use to identify such people.</p>
