<p>I hope this is never an issue but if you are allowed to retake classes where you get a grade that is lower than a C, wouldn't be better for your GPA to just fail the class and retake it rather than get a C. </p>
<p>What looks better on your transcript for grad school or transfer purposes an A even though it shows the A as a second attempt or a C but the class has only been taken once.</p>
