<p>I attended a community college for my AA, then a 4 year for my BA. I also attended a different community college years ago, for one semester but did not complete the courses and did not receive a degree from them. I don't believe this institution is reflected in my transcripts for either of the schools i received degrees from.</p>
<p>Do I/should i report this 3rd school on my applications?</p>
<p>If you did not receive a grade for those courses and no pass/fail or withdrawals, then you do not need to report them. If you did receive a grade, even if you did not graduate, then you do need to report them. Schools usually require transcripts for every school you attended, even if you did not graduate. Sometimes they have a “for 6.0 credits or more” lower limit that could apply to you.</p>
<p>menloparkmom is wrong about this. If your first CC actually can generate an official transcript for you, you are obligated to submit it. Period. I learned this the hard way when I was almost booted from a graduate level program because of a missing 30 (yes, thirty) year old transcript from a summer class. While I was jumping through all the hoops needed to get that ancient transcript, I had several conversations with the registrar at the university where I did manage to save my registration, and I learned that this is really more about the colleges and universities playing nice with each other than it is about us as students. After all, for many of us whatever it was that we were supposed to be learning in that class umpteen years ago has very little to do with whatever it is we are now trying to pursue at the graduate level.</p>
<p>For your own peace of mind, contact that CC and ask for a copy of your transcript. If they can’t make one for you because you do indeed have no record there as described by straigtadmit, then obviously your brief attendance/nonattendance there doesn’t matter. </p>
<p>If you do have a transcript and the grades are all terrible, don’t panic, just order up the number of official copies that you need, and send them around. Old bad grades from years ago don’t matter nearly as much as new good grades. </p>
<p>OP,
Try contacting the national clearinghouse to see if your prior enrollment even shows up . This is theservice that colleges use to check for any prior college enrollment/ records
If there is a record from your old, old college then forward it . </p>
<p>The National Student Clearinghouse is used by colleges and universities who pay for the information. There is a part accessible to students if their university permits, and most universities do not.</p>
