<p>Over the summer, I took Calculus I for the first time. I took this course so that I could get into calc-based Physics during the fall semester. Unfortunately, due to a communication error (totally my fault), I received a D in the course. Since I did not take this course at my home college, I plan not to transfer it back in. I plan not to report this grade, either.</p>
<p>Will I get penalized if I don't report this course when it comes time to transfer? My home institution is a PA community college with dorms, and my county's community college is where I took the Calc I course this summer. I</p>
<p>Yes I believe you will. You’re supposed to supply transcripts from all colleges you’ve attended.</p>
<p>Nm, I thought you were a hs student, required to report it. Don’t know how you home college handles it, but you will have to report it for any transfer or grad study or it is fraudulent application/ethical breech. They check the student clearinghouse.</p>
<p>Schools request every transcript from all colleges attended. The reality is that for most cases, leaving a course out has not been an issue, as most schools do not bother to do searches. However, it is a serious ethical breech not to do so, as BrownParent says, and if you are caught in certain scenarios it can cause you serious problems. One of the scenarios where it is considered essential is for Medical School admissions and your name indicates that may be in your future. Other professional school programs as well as top level opportunities do thorough searches as well and the consequences of leaving out something like this can mean an auto drop from consideration. </p>
<p>It’s becoming easier and easier to check and search with computers search engines and programs. There was a time, when many things did not come right up, which now do. </p>
