This is from the UC website:

Does UC grant extra grade points for a grade lower than C in an honors course?

No. Grades of D/F are not assigned extra honors points. We assign extra grade points for up to eight semesters (with no more than 4 semesters from 10th grade courses) of UC-certified honors-level, AP, IB or college/university courses taken in grades 10, 11 and 12 in which the student earned a grade of C or better.

Basically it is saying that even if the course is considered an “honors” course, the D will not be given extra points to make it a C or passing grade. The FL course requirement is not fulfilled unless he retakes the class for a C or higher.

I would double check this, but it is no different than taking a Honors Spanish or AP Spanish class in HS and getting a D.
