Colleges will require transcripts from both the high school and the CC when you apply. When you fill out your college application, you will be asked what courses you’ve taken, are currently enrolled in and plan to take. You will list any CC classes you’re taking and then it’s YOUR responsibility to have the transcript sent from the CC to all colleges you’re applying to.
