Reporting community college to CAS

dcstyles51

Hello! I took a look at putting things into CAS, but for some reason it doesn't have a level for community college or associates? All I see is Bachelor's, Graduate, and Law but the only thing the community colleges could give out were associates. What should I put for this?

Hi!

So, I just looked at my CAS and for my community college there was an option for "undergraduate level" which is what I chose for my community college. Make sure you are not attempting to select your community college as your "Bachelor's Degree-Granting Institution."

Thanks for the reply! I don't see that option. I'm clicking on "add other institution" but it only gives me bachelor's, graduate, and law.

yes me too, but just pick bachelor, because at the end when you review them, the community college one will only say bachelor but your university will say bachelor degree granting. so they will know which is which.

I agree with zobidaalali. If those are the only options choose Bachelor's.

Do we have to submit community college transcripts?

Yes.

It's crucial to select the correct level of education for each institution listed on your application to avoid any confusion or delays in the review process. As you mentioned, selecting "undergraduate level" for a community college is the correct option.
At first, I didnt notice it at all..

This is especially true if the coursework took place before your bachelors degree was officially finished. I believe it says somewhere either in the Transcript FAQ on LSAC/CAS.

I have dual credits from a Junior College from high school, do these need to be reported separately? They went towards my undergraduate degree (I was there 4 years, I was not a "transfer") so I believe they are on my undergrad transcripts.

Typically, if your dual credits were used towards your undergraduate degree and are already included on your undergrad transcripts, then you do not need to report them separately. Admissions officers will typically review your undergraduate transcripts as part of your application process, and will be able to see that you earned dual credits during your time in high school. However, it's always a good idea to check with the specific university or college you are applying to, as their policies may vary. If you are unsure, you can contact their admissions office and ask if they require separate reporting of dual credits earned during high school.
