I tried that at one of my community colleges and nope. The old transcripts are still sent by paper mail. I'm like for real? Hi join us in 2022. Some schools just archive old transcripts and keep them in storage with no plans to ever convert them electronically. Myself and my husband experienced this at 2 different schools.

My mom went back to school after 30 years, had zero problems getting her 30yo credits accepted either.

You're lucky. I've had multiple colleges tell me my English Comp was too old. My math was too old. One school said they require English and math to be completed within the last 5 years. Excelsior said all of my business classes were too old so I couldn't complete their BS in Bus Admin.

Re-enrolling in the school would not bring out that old transcript - I'd just have 2 transcripts to deal with.  I'm forever archived!  Plus, they frown upon 2nd degrees unless it's a new area of study, and it would cost a fortune - $2,720+ $396/cr for out-of-state tuition and fees for 1-6cr (they're a state university with no per-unit amount, it's just PT or FT semester).

Nobody ever cared about my old credits, except TESU for my AoS courses - I was allowed a max of 9cr in the AoS that were older than 10 years, and they used my other old credits in the Core.  But this is one of the reasons I chose TESU over EC back in the day.

My husband has applied to multiple schools, none have said his math or English was too old (or any of his credits).  His credits are all 25+ years old.
