Do you report your dual-enrollment college to CAS?

Post by Deuce » Sun Jul 11, 2010 7:20 pm

I dual-enrolled for one course in high school at my local community college, and this course, college, and grade are all reported on my UG school's transcript. Do I still do "add another institution" when using LSAC's CAS to show this, or is the fact that this one course is on my UG's transcript enough and I only submit that one?

Thank you!

Yeah, you'll have to go to the community college and get them to send the transcripts with the whole LSAC form deal. I had to deal with the same thing. Also yes, add the community college to your CAS on LSAC

So you request it through both LSAC, and you have to have your school send it? I hope the second part can be done over the phone because I have no intention of visiting my far away hometown any time in the near future...

Yes, you will definitely have to have the community college you dual-enrolled at to send an official transcript to LSAC. I was able to order mine online and most of the time you can call and order it as well. Schools know that students move away. I had 8 dual-enrollment classes and even though they are on my undergrad record, LSAC still needed it. It falls under, "send a transcript from EVERY school you've attended"

I faxed the community college I took DE courses in the LSAC form and told them to send my transcripts and the form to LSAC.

I am trying to add the community college I took a class at in high school on CAS, and it says to Select either Bachelor's, Graduate, or Law. But since I didn't receive any degree from this institution, what should I choose?

If you took it as dual enrollment, and the 3 credits counted towards your UG when you went to college, then it counts as Bachelor's. However, if the class you took did not count in anyway towards your college degree and was high school only, I'm not sure if you need to collect that transcript at all.
