Report Middle College Program Coursework?

While in high school I took part in the FDU middle college program. I took 2 courses during my senior year of high school and received a C- and a B+. To be a part of this program you simply pay a fee and get credits from FDU that can be transferred later on. These courses were taught by my high school biology teacher in our high school (not at FDU), so I never truly "enrolled/attended" FDU. I'm trying to figure out if I'd need to report the grades because they do pop up on my current college transcript, but not on my transcript from a former institution from which I transferred out of. Does the fact that I took them in high school, in a high school setting, and never actually set foot on FDU's campus, make any difference? These grades are gonna hurt my GPA and I'd prefer to not have them on my transcript if I can help it. Thank you in advance!

You must report any courses for which a post-secondary school gave credit: Section 4 of the AMCAS® application: Course Work

For AMCAS:

Contact the sponsoring organization (FDU) and ask if you were registered and if a transcript can be obtained. It doesn't matter that you never visited the campus. If a transcript exists, an original must be submitted to AMCAS at application time. If a transcript doesn't exist, you will need a letter sent to AMCAS by FDU that states that is the case. No matter what, it will still appear on the original transcript you will eventually have sent from your current campus, and questions will be asked.

If they're going to be on your current college's transcript, then I think you need to enter them

I can speak from similar experience that these must be included. Many schools (at least those admissions offices I contacted) will see that they are from high school and disregard them, but they are factored into cGPA and must be reported.

I still have username envy, just so you know.
