Transfer Student needs help with a special question

Transfer Students
1

<p>I am a transfer student who has had a bad record (I failed many courses at a public 4year university in texas and forgot to drop out..) at one public 4year university who then went on to get all my general courses at lower level 2year community colleges. Now I am applying and transferring to a different 4year public university in the same state of texas (where I am permanent resident).. They ask for the colleges and transcripts of everywhere I have went to.. My question is can I omit listing the university that I did really bad at so that I will never be on my record at this new university or do they have an interconnected system or database that will find out?</p>

<p>There’s a specific board for transfer questions. If you look there you’ll see that this question has been answered many times before; yes, you DO need to include records from ALL previous universities attended. There IS a database they can check, and even if they admit you, you can still be expelled later for failing to disclose that information on your application.</p>

<p>Can you provide a link to that forum/post?</p>

There is a national database called the National Student Clearinghouse [National</a> Student Clearinghouse: Degree verification & enrollment verification](<a href=“http://www.nslc.org/]National”>http://www.nslc.org/) set up to provide exactly this information. Try it and you will be caught and your admission revoked or you’ll be kicked out of the school.</p>

<p>And even aside from that program, how naive can you be to think that different branches of Texas public U’s can’t access the same database for student records? It’s the same friggin education system!!</p>

<p>Okay thanks for info about the “National Student Clearinghouse: Degree verification & enrollment verification” That makes sense… (then why do they even require us to send in transcripts by mail if they have interconnected databse!!!) </p>

<p>But anyway knowing this, I guess my ONLY other real question would be, since those F’s I made at one university Obviously do NOT transfer over as credits (duh!) will they still count against me or can I “start over new with blank GPA” at this other new different university I am applying to, or shall it be the same no matter where I go and I still have to “waste a semester” to take easy courses to bring up my GPA before I can enroll in courses that I want to take towards the degree I am aimming for? </p>

<p>Can anyone help me answer this question please?!</p>

<p>so that they dont need to take the trouble unless something seems wrong. also a easy check to see whether someone is lying</p>

<p>If one audited a few classes at a local public university, should they even mention that on application or auditing isnt really considered an enrollment?</p>
