It depends where you apply, but they could. You will need to report all DE courses on your applications. If they are electives and not core courses, they might have less of an effect, but colleges will certainly review these grades.

Furthermore, if you ever apply to grad school, law school, med school, etc, you will need to submit your DE transcripts and they will be considered part of your college GPA for admissions purposes. This is why it is critical to only take DE classes if you plan to work really hard at and believe you can do well in. These grades will not only be a part of college admissions, but will follow you beyond college if you continue your education beyond a bachelors.

But of course you can’t change the past, so you must look ahead. As mentioned, if these were electives, probably less of an issue than if they were in core courses. For most colleges, they shouldn’t completely tank your chances, but unfortunately won’t help you.
