My high school had a program with the community college that we could take classes there for high school class credit. Do I list that institution or not? The classes appeared on my high school transcript, not a college one. However, I was technically enrolled as a student, though I'm actually not sure if I was considered a student of the college or not. I heard that they're strict about this kind of stuff when it comes to background checks so I wanted to ask.
edit - our school had AP classes, it was separate from that. The purpose of the program was for kids who finished the science curriculum at my school including AP to take even more advanced classes because we were required to take science every year and we were all nerds who tested out of a bunch of stuff. It appeared on my high school transcript as essentially a regular high school class, but I was in the college's system and had a guest email and log in so it feels like a grey area

I had a similar issue, and reached out to LSAC many times. My high school didn't have a university it directly used for the AP courses (usually it is a local community college); instead it uses College Board. Since my AP courses are on my main BA university's transcript, LSAC said that is good enough. If you know you high school uses a university to back the AP courses, than reach out to them.
Yes.
I'd say if there are records at the CC of the classes and your grades then include it. I'm in a similar situation, and I had both a CC transcript and a HS one.
Yes- if you know the college then you should submit all transcripts you have. I similarly took classes in high school at a college (this was a class that was offered through my high school, taught by a high school teacher) and i requested a transcript and sent it over to LSAC.
