<p>You don't want to be dishonest. Most applications ask you to list every college you have attended (even for one class) and to submit transcripts from each. You can hope that the upward trend will work in your favor.</p>
<p>I cannot speak for any other schools about this matter, but I know a close friend who was in the same position. He had dropped out of a UC with a 2.0 GPA due to some circumstances, and reenrolled in community college. He did extremely well there and he was offered acceptance to UCLA. </p>
<p>However, a few days later, they rescinded his acceptance because somehow, UCLA found out that he hadn't reported ALL his grades. He appealed, but UCLA was very strict on that. So, yes, I think the UCs will know if you ever have been enrolled. They are a statewide system after all, not separate schools.
<p>The UCs want you to submit records from all of your college history; you can not ignore your old grades. Eventually they'll request the transcript.</p>
<p>UCD Admissions... what should I do if I forgot to list 2 courses I took at a CC way back in high school (I applied as transfer) or will the UC I'm going to notify me about it?</p>
<p>^^Yes, ANY class taken at ANY point at a CC / University / College counts. Unless it was a non-transferable class...then it probably wouldn't count.</p>
