<p>Out of curiosity, say I transferred out of my first college (in good standing, of course) to a new college for one academic year, then I desire to return to my former institution. Am I obligated to submit a transcript from the college to which I transferred back to my former college? If so, and I don't, how would that affect me? Would the old college I'm returning to know about my previous enrollment at another school?</p>
<p>The effect would be pretty simple: no transfer acceptance without a transcript.</p>
<p>But, I don't think you understand my question. I attended a college in the 2005-2006 academic year, but I transferred to another institution for the 2006-2007 academic year. Now here's the catch. What if I wanted to go back to the school I attended in the 05-06 year to which I have to reapply am I obligated to submit a transcript from the school I transferred to in the 06-07 academic year? If so, but I don't submit one, how would that affect me?</p>
<p>what is wrong with that transcript? the school will want to know about that year is my guess....you aren't trying to get credit for the classes, and would be going back as a sophmore...but they will pull your old records and see that you transferred to school X...I assume they note that when you leave...so you can't really "hide" what you did for a year, and that may make them go hmmm, how come no transcript...</p>

Most likely the effect would be to get you kicked out of that school for lying, assuming that they didn't catch you at the application stage like CGM's explains. There is an organization called the National Student Clearinghouse that keeps records on students from almost all colleges. Its used to verify eligibility for financial aid, verify enrollment, and catch people who want to "forget" they went somewhere.

<p>Yes, it would amount to falsifying your application, which is essentially grounds for revocation of admission.</p>
