<p>On almost every app they request if the student has "attended any college" they must list and submit transcripts.</p>
<p>D received college credit through a summer program but did not ATTEND the college that gave the credit. Must she list this and then provide a transcript from that school?</p>
<p>Anyone know? - please help!!!</p>
<p>My d listed it and sent a transcript (her summer college sent them for free). She's now trying to get those credits to transfer.</p>
<p>Why wouldn't she want to list it?</p>
<p>"Why wouldn't she want to list it?"</p>
<p>Space on the apps, and the extra hassle of getting yet another transcript from another school besides her HS. Additionally, one of the classes had an unusually difficult grader (He thought 15 year olds in a level one class should be ready to dance on Broadway, the second day of class no less, because he had and it was his first year teaching beginners) and since there is no where to explain that grade...well, to be blunt, I think it could hurt her.</p>
<p>I suppose she should just contact admissions at the schools she is applying to and ask.</p>
<p>Anyplace that gives college credit is college be it through the mail or in person and must be listed.</p>
<p>I think if you received college credit from any institution that you are obligated to list it. </p>
<p>Can you clarify what you mean when you say that she received credit but didn't "attend"?</p>
<p>For example, some people get one-course (3 or 4 credits) scholarships from a local university through CTY. Others pay to take a freshman course over the summer. I took two courses, one at George Washington U and one at George Mason U. I was classified as a 'non-degree' student but received legit credit because I was graded along with real college students in the class.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, not listing the course in answer to the "did you attend any other college" is a lie in your d's case. However, schools that she's applying to don't necessarily require a transcript unless you're seeking college credit. So that may not hurt her at all. </p>
<p>That's particularly true if she's not applying as a dance major. Even if she is, at schools that require an audition, the audition trumps almost every other grade.</p>
<p>Just list it and attach a transcript, if requested. There's not much you can do about the grade at this point. I'd also second what Chedva said.</p>
<p>"Can you clarify what you mean when you say that she received credit but didn't "attend"?"</p>
<p>She attended a performing arts school (not a college or university) for a summer and they offered several of her classes as college credit through the state university. But she never set foot on their campus nor were the instructors from the university. It is simply through an agreement between the school and the university that students may receive college credits for their classes.</p>
<p>In any event, just discussing this makes it clear to me that she needs to verify with the various admissions offices whether or not this is need. My original take was that they are looking for people who may be entering their school with credits that affect their standing as freshman or transfer, but maybe not...</p>
<p>BTW- She is seeking a visual arts degree, all her existing credits are in performing arts.</p>
<p>She should send it. </p>
<p>Trust me, I know the hassle. Including my HS, I will be sending three transcripts...maybe 4. >_< My distaste for this is actually making me consider not taking a course.</p>
<p>Did she actually fill out the paperwork and/or pay any required fee to get the credits? My d attended a dance program that required around $250 extra to get the college credites, and she would have had to write a paper. She didn't do it.</p>
<p>Before you worry, you might want to check with your state university as to whether she even got the credit. If she didn't, she doesn't have to report it.</p>
