Reporting previous classwork

<p>

Is there ever a case when a student should not report prior collegiate
academic work on the application?</p>

<p>No. Students must always report all prior collegiate academic work on the UC application. This includes any college or university work
done outside of the United States. Students are often reluctant to show
academic work that is several years old, or work that may reflect weak
study habits. But no matter how old or strong the academic record,
students must report all prior work.

<p>Is this true? How could they find out?</p>

<p>When you apply for admission to an accredited college or university in the US you are obligated to provide official copies of you transcripts from all previous institutions. The have acces to nationwide databases, so yes they can find out about your history.</p>

<p>But truly this is more about the colleges playing nice with each other than it is about you. Just send your old transcripts and it will be OK.</p>

<p>Will it be factored into the GPA?</p>

<p>Each college/university decides for itself how to handle transfer credits. You have to ask.</p>
