School Transcript, do we have to transfer all credits to new school?

In undergrad i went to 4 different schools, but when i finally transferred to my last school (the one i will graduate from) I only transferred 2 school transcripts and not the third, the one I left out I had failed the classes and withdrew the last semester. Am i required to transfer all transcripts, and if so what will happen if my current school finds out??



FYI: this really only applies if you go to a 4 year institution, or a college with selective admissions. If you go to a two year you do not have to report your transcripts if they don't apply to your degree but otherwise you will get in trouble at a 4 year. it is witholding information which when you filed your application you stated you would not do, and the applications almost always say list ALL schools attended. This could get you in a lot of big trouble if you don't go in and talk to an admissions councelor, before this costs you a lof of time and money. This is grounds for removal, but I doubt it would happen (especially if it was a while ago and you are doing fine in your current institution). Most likely they will just say to send it in, and they will look it over and tell you that you might have to retake the class, or simply let it go. BUT if they find out without you, it'll probably be a lot worse. Also a tip- simply write a long letter to your admissions councelor explaining the situation, just state that the first school slipped your mind because it was so long ago and you spent a short amount of time there. Also, mention how you turned your academic career towards the better and explain why you withdrew or failed those classes. Honestly though its best to just talk to your councelor because technically this is grounds for repulsion of admission.




no. only send the transcripts from the schools of which you have taken classes that apply to your degree. if you have no classes that you need from the school that you failed in then dont bother sending those transcripts.




This is not your issue. The issue is: What will they TAKE?????
