Honestly, I’m not sure of the answer to this one. I don’t think that UCs care about grades earned at unaccredited institutions… but I’m not sure about this. I would make a call to the Admissions Office of one of your choices… and then make another one… and another. If the Admissions person can’t direct you to a place (official website) where you can see for yourself that it isn’t necessary to send in these unaccredited grades you’ll have to include them and explain it in your personal essay. Even if you find that you have to include them these grades shouldn’t be too detrimental as they are almost 5 years old and you have shown academic maturity with a high GPA in your current coursework. Good luck!
