If you don’t need to submit your application immediately and one of your colleges requires Courses & Grades, you should wait until you can complete Courses & Grades before submitting. If you aren’t able to get your transcript before you need to submit your application to a required college for a deadline, that’s okay.
What happens if you don’t submit your transcript?
Neglecting to send complete transcripts—even for courses you don’t want to transfer to your new school—is considered falsifying your academic record and will jeopardize your chance of being admitted.
Can you send late transcripts after application deadline?
Colleges expect the part of the application that comes from YOU to arrive by the deadline (and this includes financial aid forms, too, when required). But if a part that comes from elsewhere (counselor forms, transcript, teacher recommendations, test scores) shows up a bit late, it will not be a problem for you.
Can I enroll in college without transcripts?
You usually have to pay a fee for official transcripts, which come directly from your school’s registrar. Most schools will not let you enroll without an official transcript.
Can I start college over without transcripts?
It is possible to start over at a community college but keep in mind your past transcript will follow you. Both universities and community colleges will request information for any prior education you had. Your prior information will help determine how much aid you will receive and what classes you can take.
Can I send my transcript myself?
You can’t personally provide the transcript because it must be an “official transcript” received directly from your high school. If a college does accept unofficial transcripts, you can request one from your guidance counselor and send it yourself.

Can you wipe your college transcript clean?
A semester riddled with poor grades can be wiped clean with an academic bankruptcy. While an academic bankruptcy will not magically disappear from your records in seven years as a financial bankruptcy does, there are many advantages to undergoing the process.
How do colleges know if you have attended other colleges?
There are many ways for a college to know if a student has already attended another college. One is by asking for transcripts from courses taken after high school. Another is by obtaining information from the financial aid office if the applicant applied for financial aid before.
Is there a way to restart college GPA?
