If I am paying for it with my money. Then whats the crime? I am choosing to "waste" my money. What is the crime in that? What would their beef be?

Fraud comes to mind.
Im not being a fraud about anything. I didnt say I am something--I just didnt say anything. How do you know why they want that info? Maybe because it is in the students best interest to not repeat credits? Ok then, I am choosing to waste my money on repeating credits because it is my money. So then, what is the crime?

EDIT:
Why are you here? You have your mind made up - nothing we can tell you here (you know, reality) will change your thoughts.

Ok then ,say that it is legally fraud. What crime have I done against them that would give them the slightest motivation to bother to come after me?

Something that doesn't appear to have occurred to you; the schools OWN RECORDS will tell them immediately that you had been registered there before.

Is it a crime for which you will go to jail? Maybe, maybe not. Hard to say since you refuse to answer the questions posed to you, which were asked for a reason.

But even if not a crime and not illegal, that doesn't mean that there can be no possible repercussions. As indicated, lying even by omission on an application can result in your being thrown out of school and possibly your degree yanked. Which will follow you to every other school you apply to.

Given that you cannot possibly hope to avoid discovery, is it really worth it to try to hide whatever you're trying to hide?
