<p>If I took a class and got a bad grade and I want to retake it as a p/np.</p>
<p>Can I do that? Its was a course req for my previous major but now that I switched majors, I no longer need it but its affecting my GPA.</p>
<p>No, I don’t think so :(. If you received a C- or lower you can retake, but
"All courses which were originally taken for a letter grade must be repeated for a letter grade. Courses originally taken on a Pass/Not Pass basis may be repeated for a Pass/Not Pass or for a letter grade if the course is so offered. "</p>
<p>What’s the difference between a letter grade and pass/not pass?</p>
<p>^ Pass/Not Pass doesn’t affect your letter grade. You cannot do that grade option for classes required by your major though.</p>
<p>Could you do it for GE’s? Is it a popular alternative? Should you do it for classes that you know are your weak point? Does it look bad on your transcript?</p>
