Transferred Schools, what to put on resume?

I've gone to 3 different schools. Is it necessary to put them all on my resume? Right now I have the school I attended for my last 3 years + cumulative GPA from there on it. My other 2 years were at 2 different schools, and I don't have them on my resume (and no GPAs obviously). Could this get me in trouble if a company asks for transcripts and they see one school on my resume and get 3 different transcripts? Or am I ok just giving my final schools transcripts anyway?

Just put the school which is awarding you your degree. That's all employers really care about, that you have a degree and it's from the university or college that you say it is.

I'm curious about this question too. if someone knows for sure, that would be greatly apprecate it. Would employers ask you to submit all three transcripts?

I'd like to know how this works out for you, since I'm in the same boat. Mind updating this in a few months when you've had a definitive answer in the real world?

My girlfriend had gone to a few different schools during undergrad. For job applications she only had where she got her degree from, for grad school applications she had to put down all of the schools she had attended.

I don't believe she had to give her current employer any transcripts from the schools she didn't have to graduate from, so it shouldn't be too much of a worry.

That sounds a lot more comforting, do you know what field she went into? major wise. Any moral confidence boost is appreciated. ;oP.

Thanks
