Transfer credits

[orthotech85]

My question is do you list transfer credits on transcripts from both institutions? Obviously the grade wouldn't be used twice,just curious if I just ignore those classes on my transcripts.

Just the original institution.

I only listed them at the school where they were earned. All of my transcripts had transfer grades as "TR" or "TA", so it was apparent to anyone looking at them that they were transferred from somewhere else.

Does anybody look at CASPA site anymore to answer simple questions? This is literally a RED highlighted bullet point at the top of the page about transcript entry.

Actually I did. The line above it says must match "exactly". In my opinion those contradicted each other.

"Coursework must be reported under the actual school, and in some cases, the specific campus, it was taken at. Do NOT list coursework under the schools which the credit was transferred to; report all classes under the schools at which they were originally taken, and list them as they appear on the transcript from the original school. Do NOT list these courses again as transfer credits."

quote from CASPA, bold added for emphasis. It appears to be quite clear.

 

If it is indeed your opinion that this statement is contradictory, you may want to call CASPA to clarify. After all, it is really only up to them what they would prefer that you do. Speaking from experience, I will tell you that as a successful applicant, I entered courses only under the actual school where the course was taken.
