<p>So i did 1 semester at a university in canada last fall. I took 3 classes:
-Earth and Ocean Sciences (3) units
-Microeconomics (3)
-Spanish 101 (3)
I did poorly in those classes, got 2 F's in the spanish and earth/ocean sciences. and a d in the microeconomics. The D was actually a passing grade in canada and is equal to a C here. Also the university uses percents. </p>
<p>Anyways, Im going to take a beginning spanish class over the summer and take a microeconomics class at a local community college. Will UCLA/THE UC'S take the remediated courses at the community college and overlook the canada grades?</p>
<p>My bad, I thought I remembered a thread from last fall where you said you were filling out the app and were planning to keep those grades secret.</p>
<p>As long as you retake the closest equivalents of those courses at your CC, I think you’d have a decent chance. It would be best to call the admissions offices for all the CC’s you’re interested in, and ask what their policy is for remediating failed classes from a four-year with credits from a CC. Just pick up the phone and call.</p>
<p>There’s no way they’ll know unless you actually report them. With that being said, don’t and just continue on with your regular CCC classes. </p>
<p>My brother’s friend did HORRIBLE his first year of CCC, so he switched to another CCC and didn’t even bother reporting his first year. They don’t even check.</p>
<p>Dwayne, they can and do check. The UCs have a website they use that can tell them if a particular student was ever enrolled in a post secondary school anywhere in North America. They will find out after you apply and reject you, find out after you are accepted and rescind you, find out while you are enrolled and expel you or find out after you have graduated and will cancel your diploma.</p>
<p>Advising a student on CC to commit an act of academic dishonesty is a very irresponsible thing to do and does not speak well for your ethical standards.</p>
<p>of course they have the tools to check, but the real question is, DO they? They certainly DON’T check each and every single applicant. My brother’s friend is already graduating this year. I’m not denying what he did is sneaky, but the fact is, the UC’s need to change some of their policies, so stuff like this can’t happen. It’s too much time consuming on their part and ignorance on yours if you believe they check and confirm each and everyone’s “history”.</p>
<p>Your brother’s friend will live the rest of his life with the nagging fear that they might find out because if they do, no matter how many years after he graduated they will revoke his diploma and notify his employer, which will get him fired, and any graduate or professional schools he may have graduated from who will also revoke any diploma he might have earned there.</p>
<p>Having a bad year at a CCC can slow down your academic career or put it on a slightly less desirable track but being caught for ever in your life having engaged in an act of academic dishonesty will immediately and permanently end it. Academic dishonesty is probably the one thing that colleges and universities not show any mercy for ,never forget, never forgive and there is absolutely nothing you can ever do to make it right with them. Some people get caught, some may not be caught but given the consequences of being caught who would ever want to chance it.</p>
<p>I still think you are irresponsible for advocating or even condoning acts of academic dishonesty.</p>
<p>I guess i shouldn’t tell you that I paid a friend to take and pass one of my final exams, otherwise, i would’ve failed and been rescinded. Now that I think about it, I still don’t care.</p>
<p>i dont think all that will happen, you can easily say you forgot.</p>
<p>no need to exaggerate out of jealousy.</p>
<p>i attended a cc in modesto,ca but decided i wasnt going to go, i was only like 19 and sworn i dropped the class, just recently i found out i got an F in that class, im not goin to report it, when i become a dentist, will my DDS license be revoked off one class because of my academic dishonesty? ■■■■■ probably not.</p>
<p>school =/= meaning of life.</p>
<p>@therock, i dont blame you, i wouldnt either.</p>
<p>** & OP please try to 1. not use capitals for your threads, you’re situation and whatnot is no different than the rest of us, & 2. please only use one thread, you have three on the first page**</p>
<p>School certainly isn’t the meaning of life, but just being generally honest tends to be the moral and ethical way to go. I think if anyone deliberately lies about their grades doesn’t deserve to go to any reputable school. There are a lot of people who messed up their first year or had a rough semester etc. who fixed their mistakes, bit the bullet and admitted it, and are now successful.</p>
<p>theirs also students at UC’s who had to go through various levels of difficulty and ease to get their, at the end of the day does it really matter?</p>
<p>this is human life were talking about, were animals, only a rare select few follow those human code of ethics.</p>
<p>Wow, its interesting how this whole post has gone way offff direction. ■■■■■!! Out of the 12 people who responded only 1 person kinda answered the question. If this was a test on an exam basically everyone failed. lol
To clear things up, I AM GOING to report my grades from this canadian university. My question was if I retake similar classes at the community college, will they probably substitute the cc grades over the canadian university grades?
The 3 courses I took were
Microeconomics (3)units
Intro Spanish (3)units
Earth/Ocean Science (3) units</p>
<p>■■■■■…I cant get over how one person steered/mislead everyone into another topic from my original post.,…lolololol. Have you guys played the game “telephone” b/c you guys would have failed.</p>
<p>Well as long as you are going to report those grades from the Canadian university, I stand by my original advice (which had a typo ). You should call the admissions offices of all the UCs you want to apply to, and ask about their policies for remediating failed courses from one institution with credits from another. Good luck!</p>
