<p>I previously attended a 4 year institution on the east coast and due to health reasons got many D’s and F’s. I specifically transferred to a community college in california to retake the classes I did bad in. One class that I took and failed at the 4 year institution was MA 120 applied mathematics. At community college I have taken both Pre Calculus and Calculus and passed both classes. I am looking at the syllabus for MA 120 and the classes that i retook and it seems that their is some overlap between the courses. Will a admission counselor expunge the grade if not all topics are identical ?. Another factor to consider is the class that the community college seems very similar to the one I took the 4 year institution but more comprehensive. Will the fact that I took a more advanced class expunge the class at the 4 year institution ?</p>
<p>the admission officers go by whatever is on the transcripts. If you 4 year institution only grants academic renewal by retaking the course at that institution then all the D’s and F’s will stay with you until you retake them there. This is generally the case even if the syllabus is exactly the same.</p>
