<p>that kind of depends, i guess…
you’ve got to find out if SMC offers courses that are considered equivalent, by the UC to which you want to transfer, to the courses you originally failed / got a D in. if it does, retake them to show that it was the circumstance and not your inability to comprehend the material that led to your grade. if it doesn’t, you can always take courses with the titles similar to those you failed, but, from what i found out in my own ventures, it won’t have the same effect.</p>
