Can I transfer to a UC with an F on my transcript?

Hi! I am applying to transfer this Fall 2019 and I want to apply to CSUs/UCs but I have one F on my transcript.
I attended the University of the Pacific in Stockton for my first year of college right after high school as an Exercise Science major and honestly, I had no idea what I wanted to do in life. I took 17 units my first semester and I ended up dropping a business course because it wasn’t related to my major and received a W. In my spring semester I took 16 units and I took Principles of Biology and I received an F and that was 5 units. After I gotten my grades from my first year at UoP, I decided to withdraw from the university because I knew Exercise Science was not for me. In Fall 2018 I enrolled at City College of San Francisco as a Sociology major, I took 9 units, I got a 3.3 GPA. And this semester (Spring 2019) I am taking 15 units. My overall GPA is a 3.6 because I’ve taken courses at this community college while I was in High School and in the summer.
I’ve talked to many counselors about my F from UOP and we discussed that academic renewal and retaking is not an option because it’s too complicated and I don’t want to type out all of that. (but trust me I tried to think if every option)

So finally my main question here is, I plan to submit both of my University of the Pacific and City College of San Francisco transcript to my future schools and would they accept that 1 F? Is there anything I can do? Please helppppp.

The deadline for applying for Fall 2019 was November 2018 so have you applied or you plan to apply for Fall 2020?

Will they let you do AR? If so, that takes care of the problem. Otherwise take Intro to Biology at City College, which will be seen as a repeat and will eliminate the F. Don’t leave the F on your record.

I cannot do AR for the private school I went to unless I have a legitimate reason for failing, they’re really strict with it. And can I take any bio course to replace that F? because there aren’t any courses at City College that matches with the bio from UOP.

I plan to apply in Fall 2019 to be at another school by Fall 2020, sorry for the confusion!

Yes you can. Aslong as your in GPA range for your major, you’ll be fine.
