Hi guys, please help me out here.

I planned on attending a local college for postbacc classes after graduating university. However, even though I was accepted, I couldn't enroll in any classes since all the courses I needed were already full. So I ended up going to another college.

Strange thing is that I recently found out that they made a transcript for me! It only has transfer credits/courses listed from my undergrad home institution and zero credits earned from this college since I never registered for any classes w/ them.

Do I have to send this transcript to amcas/aacomas?? I never signed up for any classes yet they made a transcript for me....what do I wrote in my app in the coursework section? Do I still list the school? I'm so confused. I never paid for any classes!

Anyone know what i should do? Thanks for the help.

I'm a little concerned because I applied to several other colleges to take postbacc classes in the past and got accepted but never attended. Should I assume all these schools have transcripts for me?? Because that'd be such a hassle....

The local colleges I applied to after graduating from my home institution are all a part of my city's public university system, so these schools use the same online service and account id# for accessing academic records, payments, etc.

So the system is able to generate all the unofficial transcript copies for all the city colleges I ever applied to. By doing this, I just found out that I have another transcript from yet another college I'd once applied to but never attended. So now, I have 2 schools that generated transcripts for me even though I never registered for any classes with them. These transcripts indicate that I earned zero credits with them and they list my transfer credits/courses from my official undergrad.
When I called one of the schools' registrar, they explained that every student that applies will have a transcript made under his/her name.

If I send the transcripts out to amcas and aacomas, I don't even know how to indicate this on my application's coursework/college section since it asks for the dates attended. There's, of course, no such info on my transcripts. I have no idea what to do! Any advice?

Did you actually register for any classes there?

I got in without sending those kinds of transcripts

There were 2 colleges I was a "student" at but never actually registered for classes. The adcoms never knew and I forgot all about them up until just now.

In fact, I probably shouldn't be posting this

"One (1) official transcript is required from each U.S., U.S. Territorial, or Canadian post-secondary institution at which you have attempted coursework, regardless of whether credit was earned. "

This implies to me that if you have not attempted coursework then no transcript is required.

No, I didn't. I couldn't register for any classes because all the seats were filled up by then.

Oh, really? Awesome, thanks for the info! This will save me some money....too many transcripts to order.

Got it - thanks for the help!

I just didn't want anyone to think that I'm hiding past school records or anything because according to some old threads, there are some kind of background checks done on students....? I just thought it'd be just for criminal records....
