Admissions Drama

[HelenCook]

Thank you so much. You always give such valuable advice. I am seriously reconsidering this Institution. As aggravating as this situation is, I am only out the cost of transcripts and a week of frustration. I have to wonder what would happen after I invested a lot of time and money there and another seemingly simple issue arose.  Luckily, thanks to you fine folks, I can try to find another program. I am currently still doing Study.com so I guess I will just keep doing those while I try to find a solution. 

It seems wrong and against a college's purpose to need a warning that says once you apply, don't sign up for any refreshers that may help you succeed and if you do, don't tell them.

You'll find that most colleges will have the approach as UMPI. They require all transcripts for admissions purposes. One reason is part of the financial aid federal requirements. If you were learning from Khan Academy there would have been no issue. You told them you a student at a university is the problem. That's why they need the transcript. They don't see it as a refresher. They see it as a college course and they need a transcript.

I see that now. I was just thinking that in the off-chance I finished before the term started, I could possibly get RA credit for it. This was not the craziest late-night, impulsive decision I've ever made and probably not the last.
