Can Colleges find out about previous colleges you’ve attended?

If I did very poorly after one semester and decide to apply to another college with just my high school marks, will the new college find out about the previous college I attended without me telling them?

If you have applied for financial aid; yes, they will find out immediately. Unless you plan on paying with cash, it’s going to be automatically listed. Also, on every reputable college’s application, there is a statement that basically states if you do not list ALL your previous schools (post-high school) and you are admitted, they can expel you for being dishonest if they found out…and in this day and age of computer technology- well, it’s pretty easy for them to find out where you’ve been.
