<p>I went to an engineering school, and I knew many students who had to retake a class (or two or three). We weren’t allowed to take it anywhere else … we had to tack it on as an overload, taking 23 or more credits in a semester. Those draconian days are over at my alma mater, though - it was affiliated with GM at the time & tuition was a bargain. Once it became an independent school and tuition went way up, guess they had to get a bit more student-friendly with their practices!</p>
<p>S is a bio major who underestimated his Organic Chem class. He didn’t fail, but he isn’t going to pass Organ II if he doesn’t know the material from Organ I … so he is retaking. It’s not the end of the world.</p>
