Reporting Colleges on Applications
I applied to graduate programs- and all require applicants to report all colleges they've attended, even if only one class was taken.
The issue is that at one community college, due to a mistake on my part, I was given an F in a class I never attended, because I did not realize I never dropped it. I never received credit, it was an extra class I never needed in the first place.
I have reported all colleges and universities I've attended and received credit at or have had transfer courses from. I did not report the college I had that "F" at because I never received transfer credit from that school and it would be a waste of time to explain away an F for a class I never attended.
Do universities and/or application service sites see this and thus not process the application? I would hate to be automatically rejected for such a pointless thing.

Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
I agree with Razhie on this. Call the Dean of admissions office and try to get them to expunge your record. If a phone call does not work make an appointment to meet with the Dean and appeal directly to the Dean and not the admissions staff who follow procedures.
Based on what you have written I see no reason why the college should not accommodate your request. If you were asking for you course fee back as well they would have reason to turn a deaf ear to you. What you are asking for seems to be a very small and reasonable accommodation to make.

There is no way for anyone here to be sure.
I doubt that the application service site can easily access this information, and even if they could, it seems even more unlikely they would automatically reject an applicant based on something that may just be an error.
In your shoes, I'd call the school where the F was recorded, explain the situation and ask if there was a way to get the record expunged. Most colleges will have a process through which you can petition to have a grade expunged from your record.
Right now, you are technically lying through omission. It probably will never come back to bite you, but it's probably worth it to try and get the record expunged.
