As I was reading this my thought was to just not send it, its not like LSDAS will hunt you down, it is just a service to compile records etc to send to the schools, shocker lawyers thought this up and require you to use it and pay for it
...but it appears there are ways for them to find out and not disclosing is prob an automatic no go.
See if the school has an academic renewal policy you can use, after a certain # of years they set aside the grades you compiled in your wayward youth and give you a fresh start...
The second option no one has mentioned is REPLACING the credit...Lets say you have an F in History...Take the CLEP/DSST/whatever exam for History...You will both knock the F off your GPA AND get credit for the class something you arent with the F. The F appears but on the transcript but isnt used GPA wise. If it is permissible I would do it for every F and D it was feasible for. You should be able to do them anywhere and xfer them to the CC...The only limits I can think of are the exams the CC gives credit for and your ability to do "normal" classes to replace them.
I suggest you check the CC renewal,transfer and CLEP/exam acceptence policy. Then post whatever rules etc AND the classes you got Fs and Ds in so people can give you the alternatives...
If it is CSN, I looked they have academic renewal after 5 years from time of last class,also accept CLEP and DSST,no courses listed so I am guessing all.
Just as an aside, if you werent aware of it California is one of a few states that lets you take the bar after attending a UNaccredited law school. Heres the link for the info.
California Law Schools
You can check at the schools but my guess is credit wont xfr but if you are going to practice in CA you might want to think about it.
