Any chance to re-take a Pre-Economics major course?

Just want to get a confirmation for a Pre-Economics major course, do you have the following options:

  1. Switch the grading from letter to Pass/No Pass and re-take the course next quarter for a letter grade again?
  2. If receiving a score lower than C, let's say C-, are you allowed to repeat the course and use the second score (hopefully higher) for your 2.85 gpa calculation?

you can get guesses here about what the rules say. Or you could maximize your expected utility by asking the dept: http://www.econ.ucsb.edu/undergraduate/advising.html Just a stroll or an email away…
