Can you leave previous jobs off your resume?
of course you can leave jobs off your resume, especially if you don't think they would make a good referral. Many people have different resume's for different types of employment. You wouldn't put down that you worked for Uncle Larry's Food Catering if you were looking for a mechanic's job would you? Just an example but it is NOT against any law to omit a previous job.
Can I omit previous universities I've attended when applying to a new one?
Do not lie. Send all the transcripts and write an explanation. I was in a car accident and too injured to do anything, I didn't withdraw my classes and ended up with bad grades. I went off to a new college and did well there. Just write a short explanation for the bad grades. Honestly universities are used to this. You need more than one semester's worth of good grades to overcome the old gpa. I would say maybe 2-4 semesters, to overcome a really bad GPA. If the university finds out that you weren't honest they might hold that against you. You just need to keep taking courses until you bring it up. I suggest you sign up for summer school and take some more courses to help you do this. I have experience with this because I went to community college at 18, got some As, got some Bs, the rest were Ws, Ds, and Fs. I ended up with a really bad GPA. 1.8 I think. So I took a break from college, I worked, then at 26 I went back to community college for a semester and got decent grades and brought up my GPA. A 1.8 GPA isn't hard to bring up. In Fall 2009 I was accepted to the University of Nebraska at Omaha and that's where I'm at now. They're considered a tier 1 university so yea, I worked hard, and you know when I applied to the University of Nebraska at Omaha, they asked me to send all my transcript. I was embarrassed but they admitted me. That freshman transcript will follow me forever! But it turns out that faculty are used to freshman flunking out for different reasons and they like to see people improve. Even if your GPA is below a 1.8, don't worry about it, just keep doing your best. Keep taking courses, get As and Bs, and eventually it will pull itself out. Its not going to be easy, but most administration faculty appreciate students that have perseverance and the desire to improve themselves. =)
Can you be banned from college forever if you were not academically making progress? Even if it was from years ago?
I tried registering online and I have a ban on me registering. I did screw off in school a few years back. I'm Going to go to the college and check it out Wednesday. Knock on wood. Wish me luck. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Should I take my college degree off of my resume?
Thanks bandgeek, as for the other who said it was lie, it's not a lie if a) they don't ask me if I went to college and b) if I omit it. Most people don't list every job they've ever worked at on their resume...that's not a lie. They just don't put it down.
Does a college give transfer certificate if you cancel admission there or do they just give the previous ones back?
If you cancel before completion of study or academic year ,you will get old once, new if given only when you complete the course or 1 year watch this
Has anyone transferred to another college to escape a poor GPA?
I've transfered 4 times, one of which, was because I had a bad GPA. My current school only excepted the classes that transfered in and had a passing grade. So I didn't get credit for though classes, but they also aren't part of my GPA. Most schools are mostly concerned with your GPA at their school anyways. I would definetly tell them about those classes; they have ways to get that information even if you don't tell them. There are records of tuition, grades, and past schools that they can access, although I don't know how likely it is of them searching for it.
Can you leave your home at the age of 17 in south carolina, if you have already graduated from high school?

Question about transferring colleges?
I am currently in a university that I hate and want to leave. This is my first year. The plan was to not enroll in anymore classes for fall semester and instead do spring applications for 2017. The thing is that my college is in the midwest and my home is in the northeast (where I want to go to school...or in Texas). My question is, will it decrease my chances of getting accepted into other colleges if they see that in spring semester 2016 I didn't enroll in or take any classes at my previous college. Do you think it matters? Or should I still take classes in the fall to increase my chances (I DO NOT LIKE IT HERE)
I flunked out of college...can I ever go back?
There's usually a required time-out period if you flunk out for no reason -- documented medical reasons might actually even have waived it -- but you should be well past that one regardless. It's usually just a couple of years of sitting out to get back into your old school, even. Now, quit beating yourself up about having been in a bad situation back then that made you quit and go back to fix this. :) You should probably make the school aware that you've been in college before, even if it's a different one, just because that's what responsible adults who should do well in college now do. It'll look a lot better if you tell them "look, I went before and had all this stuff going on that got in the way. . . but it's all fixed now, I'm a better person for it, and you can be sure I'll do better this time" than if you try to act like you never went anywhere before. A lot of people applying over 20 purely weren't ready to have to do actual studying the first time and they may sort of suspect you have a story even if you don't tell them, and it sounds like you had a lot more than than simple laziness working against you back then. Heck, they likely may even have some program where they'll give you largely a free pass on the old records given the situation? Even several 4-year schools will let you replace Ds and Fs in your GPA if you retake the class and do better. . . I'd expect your CC may as well.
