<p>UC may or may not agree on if the course is a retake of the previous course. Their analysis may even vary campus to campus. The only way to absolutely take an equiv course is to re-take it at the same cc, where they will reflect on your transcript it was a retake, which UC will honor. Most cc’s do not allow AR for a single class without re-take. Some will say you must AR the entire courseload from that semester or quarter. Others require a certain waiting period, and still others require you to still be a current student to do so. </p>
<p>I have a similar issue with a women’s history course I took at cc while still in high school. No equiv course anywhere, and retaking is not an option (now out of state) and I am not eligible for AR. The darn thing haunts my GPA to this day, Can’t wait to transfer and pretend it never happened. Yay clean slate!</p>
