text: when you apply for college as a transfer student...? i've only taken four classes at my local community college and i failed two of them. when i start applying for college, do they look at that for admission? if you want to transfer over the two classes you passed, then yes.  but if you want to put that all behind you and start fresh you can always apply as a new student and don't mention the community college. i knew a friend who did this.
