I NEED HELP! Failed to pass prereq class before transferring!

Hi, I’m going to a local community college majoring in Biology.
I just finished my winter quarter and I got a D on my Biology 1B class, which is a prereq on assist.org.
I thought I tried my best, but for some reason, it ended up like this… (My teacher really sucks…)

I can retake it next quarter, which will be the last quarter for me before summer,
but the thing is I also have to complete the 1C class before summer, which is not going to happen…

I am already admitted to UCSB and waiting for other admissions from UCs.
I really don’t want to waste another year in college because of this one class…

Should I contact to the schools I applied about my grade even though I didn’t receive any notice for admissions from them?
Did anyone have similar experience with me? Then, how did you deal with it? Is it true that some schools allow you to take the prereq over the summer?

I honestly don’t know, the best thing you can do is contact the admissions office and ask. Or go ask your counselor in community college or have a round asking at the transfer center. They have a lot of info there & will be able to help you.

Youshould ask them what they want you to do. They might want you to take it over the summer.
