Failing continuing education course at another institute

[conflictz]

Hello everybody,

I am a recent graduate of a bachelors degree from a brick and mortar school. In attempts to get into a certificate program, I enrolled in a continuing education course offered by that institute.

Needless to say, I was rejected from the program (after being put on waitlist).

Since then I filed my withdrawal (which did not go through) in attempts to salvage my grade and I have ended up with an F in the course.

My question to you all here at thegradcafe is that will this failure hinder any future grad school applications?

I understand most schools require all transcripts of post secondary courses but I am curious if a continuing education course would have any huge effect or if it is even necessary to submit this transcript since I only enrolled in the course and was never formally accepted into any program.

Thanks in advance for your help! Any further details needed can be requested via PM.

Do you mean continuing ed courses that aren't part of the normal undergraduate curriculum?
