Mistakenly didn't add previously attended college

Greetings, I was just admitted into the California State University Fullerton and I have a big question. I just got an email today that my application is on “A20 Hold” so that the school may review my transcript, (which I ordered from my current school to be sent via USPS priority). And I noticed in the body of the message it said “please send us an unofficial transcript from every institution attended” and called the school to clarify. I was always under the impression the only transcript I needed to send was from the school the units are being transferred from. I’m really scared now, because I mistakenly didn’t add a school I attended 11 years ago on my application, and I absolutely want to be in full compliance. Can I make an amendment and send that transcript along to the school? When I was filing my application online I absolutely thought my schools reported was for units being applied from that school. When I started at my current JC, I literally started my whole educational career over again never thinking I had to go back and deal with my old school since I didn’t transfer those units (did very poorly as a fresh from HS kid). I thought that I could start over with a clean slate. Please help! Had I fully understood, I would have absolutely listed my old school. I’m not one to go against policy. I would rather be up front than not. What do you guys think since I haven’t yet accepted my invitation to attend the school? Can I fix this?

Thanks for your time,
Joe
