Depends on the school. If you do not submit the previous school info, you may be ok.Does anyone know what the penalty is for not sending all your college transcripts?
They will find out about it, find out you lied, and probably kick you out of school.
Colleges don't take stuff like that lightly.
If you can't get transcripts from your previous school, the hold probably involves some sort of financial issue/unpaid balance with them, is that correct? That is the most common reason why a school won't release official transcripts.
The admission office won't know if you were at another school if you lie on your admission application, but they may ask what you have been doing for the past couple of years, so you'll...lie again? If you finally get an official transcript and submit it to the new school for evaluation in the hope of getting some transfer credit for two years of college work with a 3.2 GPA, you'll get busted and how will you explain it...lie again? You retake courses under the assumption that you are a new freshman and make a comment about having taken the course before. Word gets out and when asked to explain it, you...lie again? Can you really live a lie for the four years it would take you to complete a degree from scratch? Don't delude yourself that offices/staff and faculty don't talk to each other; this sort of lying behavior is usually discovered.
Applications require you sign off that the information provided is true. Schools have honor codes and most take a dim view of people who intentionally - deliberately - falsify documents and provide fraudulent information. Schools can, and do, expell students for violations.
If you have financial arrears with your current school, it will show up when you apply for financial aid...because your name will be in the national data base. You won't qualify for any federal aid until your debt is paid so you better plan to pay cash for your classes. Don't even think of applying for any scholarships that an admission office might talk about with you, under the impression that you are an incoming new student.
You don't explain what circumstances brought you to this point, but suck it up and take care of the original problem. If you need to stop out and pay off a debt, do it. If it's not a financial issue, resolve it with your school.
You may not like what I am saying, but you asked the questions. It's time to grow up and take responsibility for what ever caused the original problem.
