Why is this a violation of academic integrity?

Another reason you want to send your transcripts is because they have a "brief snapshot" of what you have and schools you have attended, they don't have the full picture - meaning, they don't know the grades and courses you have taken, etc - this is whatever info they have in the verification system on the National Student Clearing House. So, I usually recommend sending anything that has been graded from a school/institution to them. Anything from a course provider, if it's not affiliated or articulated, there is no reason to unless you want the extra brownie points to get into a semi competitive program.
