Transfer Students
1

<p>Do you think it's necessary that I send official transcripts from a school where I was a visiting student? I know that different colleges might have different requirements, so I should ask the individual schools, but just in general... I'm wondering because it would cost over fifty dollars to send official transcripts from that school (where I only took three classes!), while it's only going to cost $20 to have transcripts sent from my official school.</p>

<p>I am pretty sure that If the school finds out you didn’t submit a transcript from EVERY school you have attended, they have the right to rescind their admissions offer. I had to do the same for a college I took classes through in high school.</p>

<p>I’m planning to send transcripts – I’d just rather not send official transcripts…like how some transfer schools will accept photocopied high school transcripts instead of the “real” thing.</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

<p>When you apply for admission to an accredited community college, 4-year college, or university in the US, you are obligated to provide official copies of transcripts from every accredited community college, 4-year college, and university in the US that you have ever attended. </p>

<p>Each institution sets its own price for transcripts. Some will send them out for free, but others charge $15 and up. Right now is not a time to be cheap. Pay the $50 and get the transcripts.</p>

<p>actually, one (accredited) college I contacted told me that I didn’t need to send transcripts unless I wanted my credits to transfer.</p>

<p>Did you talk to an admissions officer, or the recorder’s office? Some schools (particularly community colleges) will admit you without seeing your previous college transcripts. However the recorder’s office will need to have them on file once you are a degree-seeking student, because if they don’t, they risk losing their accreditation in the future.</p>

<p>Keep track of all of the places you have studied, because if you go to grad school one day, they will need all of this information too.</p>
