<p>i took this one class in college during my senior year and we didn't cover all the topics that we were supposed to. can i take this class again at berkeley for credit and still have it count towards my gpa? (i'm assuming that i wont get credit for the class i took last year) im afraid that i might not get any credit after taking this class this fall!!</p>
<p>Um . . . you can retake anything that you took at Berkeley, but you won't get credit for the first class and, in some cases, it may look odd or pointless, be a waste of your time, or be a waste of your money. If you have a strong reason for retaking it, i would call a counselor, verify that what i said is true, and then enroll in the similar Berkeley class.</p>
<p>When i spoke to a counselor, he said that any course not used for credit does not appear on the GPA, meaning that your original class won't be there, because he said the "retake" overrides the original.</p>
<p>DRab: You misunderstood the OP's question; The OP stated that she took a college class (presumably at a local community college or a local Cal State) and did not cover all the material; she would like to take a similar class at Berkeley to ensure he/she covers all the points.</p>
<p>CrazyDolphine: Most likely, you will earn credit from Berkeley if you do retake this class. </p>
<p>For example, I took World Politics at UCLA, but I'm going to take PS 2 (Comparative Politics) this fall, which is slightly similar to World Politics. I will be given credit by Cal for my units at UCLA, as well as units for PS 2 at Cal. This is because Cal hardly ever grants some kind of "pass" on a class because you took it at another university--that is why classes taken prior to Cal at a community college may not been granted breath credit. In my particular situation, PS 2 is also a major requirement so it must be taken for credit regardless of any prior attendance at another university (particularly for incoming freshmen).</p>
<p>This reluctance to grant a "pass" works in your favor--it allows you to retake the course at Cal, though you may have had collegiate experience in the course prior to Cal.</p>
<p>So, to cut it short, Cal will most likely grant you credit for the re-take at Cal.</p>
<p>eiffel, i understood, but wrote poorly. sorry about that, guys. I'll try to write less ambiguously in the future.</p>
