Transcripts - bellbaby - 05-05-2017
I graduated hs in 1988. I have 2 bachelor's degrees and have attended 6 colleges. I want to get a certificate at a local community college. I've submitted my transcripts with my first bachelor degree. I am in the process of sending them the other records. On their website, it states that students with degrees are not required to submit high school transcripts. Well, I happened to find 2 un-opened envelopes in my records, stamped "unofficial if opened." I'm pretty sure they are 29 years old.
milelol: I had my husband drop one off at the community college. They called me a few minutes later to tell me that the high school transcript was unofficial because it didn't have a graduation date listed. YHGTBFKM!!! I live in a county where there is like a 40% graduation rate. I am trying to get a medical coding certificate program class. And ^^^^ this?!!! (I was submitting the hs transcript because they insist they DO need this despite their website stating otherwise.)Additionally, there's another school in my academic history that I attended for one class, and dropped that class. I had no grade obviously, and I complained to them for an unprofessional professor (I don't remember the issue) and got all my money back. When I submit for an electronic transcript, they have no record of me. The community college says if I'm going to get any financial aid, I need a letter from the college saying - I don't know what exactly. I guess it will say "Although this person claims to have attended our school and taken a class, we have no record. So please accept this non-transcript letter as verification that she did not go here." ?????????? banghead
Ok, I just had to vent. The red tape they put people through.

They sure do nonsensical things sometimes! I think I would switch colleges if they did that to me. But I know sometimes you don't have other nearby options

Yeah. Well, I would. This is a thing my husband wants me to do and one extension of the college is right next to his job, (in the same building, really) and the other is a mile away from our home. I am looking at another school in the county/state college system of schools that has this course 100% online. And I really want to see what credits they will accept before I enroll in anything. It's just ridiculous. They made my husband track down someone to send a transcript from a school that doesn't exist that was closed for scamming people? He's 54 years old with a BS and MBA, and they needed something from "Computer Learning Center" AND his high school as well. I did go so far as to look to see if I could find ACE credit for the classes. I found a website but it was confusing and at 220$/class, it's only a small amount of money less than community college, so doesn't seem to be much of a point to doing it that way.

Yeah, that is crazy of them for a closed school, or when someone has at least a Bachelor's already, etc.
Did you look at New Mexico Junior College? They are so cheap.
