Graduation audit questions

[dfrecore]

Hey everyone, I have a very specific / odd question for anyone who may know the answer. If not, i will call TESU and try to get ahold of one of the admissions staff... just thought i would try here first.

When i was younger (maybe 10 years ago) i had enrolled in community college, but wasn't able to attend because my job at the time changed their mind and wouldn't work around my schedule for classes. I attended only one day of class and then had to withdraw. 

Fast forward a decade later and I had my legal name changed, first and last, so i have a totally different name - but the same SSN....

My question is, do i have to try to get ahold of these transcripts from that college i withdrew from, in order to graduate from TESU. I am concerned about it because I don't know how i will be able to get the transcripts since all my ID's have long since had my revised names on them. I don't have anything to show I am that person i 'used' to be when I enrolled at the community college... weird situation i know...

thanks in advance

You don't have a birth certificate?  Or any paperwork to show the name change?

I know when I have to do mine (just middle & last name changed), I show my original birth certificate and then my marriage certificate (I think I had to show these to get passports for my kids).

I imagine there will come some other times in life when you have to show your original name?

Normally I just show my letter from the court that authorized my name change. That's what I use for the DPS and all those other places to get my documents changed. But the old community college doesn't accept this and requires a photo ID with the name I used when i was in college.

That's just silly.  I don't have any photo ID's with my name I used in college!  Someone there is misinformed; I would try to do it online or something else.  Or else take it higher up.  They can't expect people to keep old expired ID's for 10 years or more.
