Will COSC review unofficial transcripts?
#17

COSC will not even look at unofficial transcripts.

COSC will also not begin to review your transfer credits until they get ALL official transcripts, including transcripts of old AP test scores sent directly from AP. Until they have ALL old AP transcripts and official transcripts from every single college you've ever taken a course at (including high school concurrent enrollment, in my case too), COSC won't even start your review. 

My review took months, partly because I didn't get them official AP scores off the bat. My AP scores were on my official high school transcript, but COSC wouldn't consider those. I had taken a community college class in high school and needed that official transcript before they would look at my credits as well. 

I know you're probably beyond the transfer credit review process, but I think it would be useful for others to know. Personally I attended a lot of colleges, if I include old college classes taken during high school, summer school, etc. so it wasn't cheap. If someone isn't strongly considering COSC, they're probably not one to start the application process with if your transcript costs would add up like mine did. And also just to be aware that COSC needs everything official, takes a long time to review (mine took months), etc. 

COSC wanted Parchment transcripts for my Sophia.org classes. I hadn't taken other sources of alternative credits.
