<p>Stumbled on this while looking at one of the courses. It reflects some of points made in this thread about different universities and their views on a repeat:
“Question: Can I re-take a course at another community college if I’ve already attempted the course three times at SMC?
Yes, you can but your transcript at SMC will remain unchanged. If you are applying for transfer, you should inform the college you
are applying to that you have repeated the course at another institution. In some instances they will only consider the highest grade
received in the class. Other colleges will average all of the grades together. The bottom line is that policies vary from college to
college. If you have more questions about this, please see a counselor.” </p>
