Laundering a transcript - KAnn - 04-20-2017
Hi,
I have a few E's on my CC transcript (didn't withdraw from the courses properly). When the transcript is sent to TESU will those courses "fall away" because TESU just won't apply them? Would a school seeing my eventual TESU transcript ever see the failed courses?
Thanks!

Nope, however, if you later apply to another college for any reason, they'll ask you to disclose "all" previous academic history, so you'd have to provide it.

Thank you for clarifying this. I also have some issues from a CC I attended after HS 25+ years ago, so I will forego transferring those in. Thank you!!!

you still have to send the transcript. The receiving school (TESU) will decide yes/no for transferring in, however, grades are not brought over- so there is no reason to try and hide the old grades. It won't hurt you in any way, and not disclosing can void your TESU degree down the line if they want to press the rules.

I have trouble imagining that anyone is going to care about a few anomalies from 25 years ago if the newer transcripts look good. My 30 yo CC transcript had such things. They were part of why I had to go back in my fifties to get my degree. Don't overthink it.

Oh, I had no idea! Thanks!

Yeah, since it's so long ago, I'm sure it can be argued away, if needed. Thank you!
And, me, over think?! What gave you that idea?! LOL

I had a 1.98 GPA in 88/89 at my first college; a 3.36 from 92-97 at my second college; a 3.5 from 98-00 at my 3rd school; and a 4.0 in 15 at my 4th. Overall average is 3.0. I think, if I was going to have to show my grades at this point, I would actually be thrilled to show that I got better over time. If a school didn't recognize that the first year and a half, when I was 17/18 years old was youthful idiocy, then that would be a school not worth going to.

This is sort of on that same topic - but slight variation - how does this work for grad schools? Do they look at the transcript from TESU only and see all the classes applied on the TESU transcript or am I going to need to order all my previous transcripts again? That would make five different schools (embarrassingly enough) plus ACE if I need to order this again. I have a pretty good gpa on all of them so I'm not worried about that but just didn't know if I still needed to go through all the work of ordering everything again when I get ready to apply. I'm looking at WGU and it sounded to me like they only cared about the one from TESU.

WGU doesn't base their acceptance on GPA, so they just wanted to see which courses you had. A Grad school that wants to look at GPA as well as transcripts will want one from every school.
I certainly don't see why you would be embarrassed by having 5 schools on there. I went to 2 different 4-yr colleges, and 2 different CC's - in different areas of the state. Lots of people switch schools, transfer, move to somewhere too far to commute to a campus, whatever. I'm willing to bet that most people with a 4-yr degree don't have just 1 transcript.
