F's/NP's in non-transferable courses?

Does it look bad to have D/F’s in classes that are not UC transferable and thus not factor into your GPA?

I took half a dozen non-transferable classes when I first started, I ended up not going after realizing they weren’t transferable so received F’s/IP’s in most of them.

However, I have almost all A’s in my UC/IGETC classes.

I decided to include the failed classes in the app as that is what my counselor told me, but this doesn’t influence the decisions of admission officers? I never really thought about it until looking at my submitted APP. The F’s just look so ugly and really stick out even though the courses never counted.
