Is it possible to replace a C with an A?

<p>I re-took a class that I got a C in, and got an A, but the "transcript guy" at my Community college won't replace the C with the A on my transcript. With the C, my GPA is 3.8. Without the C, (and with the A I rightfully earned), my GPA is 3.9. </p>

<p>I re-took the class because a counselor from the admissions office told me that if I took the same class at another community college, it would replace the C. So I did it. Now, the "transcript guy" says he would only replace my grade if I had gotten a D or an F. That's absolutely ridiculous. How can he even say that with a straight face??? </p>

<p>Is it true?? Is it really true that a person can take the same class twice, but for some reason the transcripts have to show the lower grade?? That makes no sense at all!</p>

<p>Yeah. Many colleges say that the grade has to be a D or lower before they’ll replace it. I know for a fact that this happens at NYU and CUNY. That’s why I hated getting a C in Chem, because it meant I couldn’t take it over.</p>
