Why is this a violation of academic integrity?

[Vle045]

I am asking this purely out of curiosity, NOT because I had/have any intentions of doing it.... 

The below is from the website of one of the schools I was looking at.  They ask for official transcripts from all RA institutions and also say failure to report any previous academic work may be considered a violation of academic integrity.   

So first, let’s consider those of us who signed up for ENEB with no real plan or goal on what you want to do with it.  Does THAT count?

Or let’s say you took some classes at an NA school like Columbia Southern.  Or maybe University of the People.  Do those count?

What about courses on sites like Coursera?  Not ones that you audit, but maybe a guided project or Specialization?

Or maybe a free certificate like the one through USF that wasn’t for college credit but awarded a certificate?

Maybe it seems like I am splitting hairs, but I am genuinely curious.  Especially so that if I *DO* need to know this in the near future, I will know what I do - and do not - need to include.  I have done several of the above and/or have considered them.



“Official transcripts from all regionally accredited institutions where baccalaureate and/or post-baccalaureate coursework was completed or attempted

TRANSCRIPTS
Only credits from regionally accredited institutions may be accepted in transfer. Failure to report any previous academic work at another college or university may be considered a violation of academic integrity.”
