    This is a question for anyone. I am a new member and I must say you guys have been an inspiration for two years now.

    Question:

    I transfered some credits from one school to another school in the past. I took some courses at that school I had the previous credits transfered and the combined credits are 84( transfered and courses taken.)

    Today, I am opting to choose one of the big three ( COSC, EC, TESC) .

    Should I still send my transcript with the 84 credits and (again) send them my transcript, from the first school I went to, eventhough I transfered it to the school with the 84 credits?

    Will I be told, since school A accepted my credits from my first college and it is on their transcript (which along with courses I took is totaled to 84 credits) there's no need to transfer to school B ( big three)?

    Will that be a duplication of credits since I had transfered my first credtis before?

    Or is there a rule that says you have to send all transcripts from every college you ever attended though you may have a transcript with the cumulative credits?

    I am very confused here as you can see my explaination.
    I really need some credits besides the exams I am taking now.


    bye.

    "Course work transferred from one institution to another is not always listed in an acceptable format for Excelsior College to evaluate. Therefore, we encourage you to have transcripts submitted from each separate institution you attended."

    Excelsior is lenient in this regard. Most universities require a transcript from every institution you attended.

    Of course, every college is smart enough to ignore duplicate credit.

    Play it safe and have all transcripts sent. Most colleges and universities are use to that kind of thing.

    Thanks Mark and Duff. I hope to keep taking the CLEP and DANTES also. It would be great to just have that extra push just to enter Grad school this summer.( early).

    COSC required a transcript from every school.
