transcripts being held hostage

[davewill]

Okay, now I'm worried. I did a year at a private college about 25 years ago. I did fine, was on the Dean's List, in fact, but the credits were so old when I restarted college that I wanted to retake the courses anyway so I didn't bother to get a transcript or mention it to TESU. Actually, I do think I vaguely mentioned it to my CC and they told me I should get it to see if I could skip Freshman Comp, but they didn't say it was required and I put it out of my head again.

I think I do owe a library fine that if I remember right, wasn't even mine and I was irritated when I left the school for various reasons and didn't close it out. Is this something that could bite me in the rear later? I wasn't trying to be deceptive, I just genuinely wasn't even thinking about it since I wanted to start from scratch because my major (Comm) is in my field so I wanted the skills refresher. Ugh. I guess I should go clear my name now.

It could. It is probably easiest to just order the transcript. If they send it, you must be all right.
