Confused with Unit Limit CCC to UC

So I was accepted to UCR during the academic year 2015-2016 as a freshman and was placed on academic probation after qtr1 grades and then dropped at the end of qtr2. If i remember correctly, the only courses I passed while at UCR was gen chem 1 and 2, and I got C’s in both.

My first question is: since I retook gen chem 1 & 2 at my CC and got with A’s in both, will those new grades override those from UCR? If not, what happens to the units/grades from gen chem at my CC and/or UCR? I didn’t think this through at first because all I wanted was a fresh start, and I was way too demotivated to care. I didn’t realize at the time that you aren’t supposed to retake classes you earned a C or better in.

Secondly, you can only transfer a maximum of 70 units no matter how many units you actually complete at a CC right? I know the semester unit limit at UCLA is 86.5 and 90 for the rest of the UCs. So as long as I haven’t completed more than 20 semester units worth (and 16.5 units for UCLA) at UCR , I should be safe? Does being close to the limit affect your chances of acceptance?
