<p>Hi, I just got a C- in one of my major course. Do I need to retake it or it is already considered as a passing grade? Many thanks!</p>
<p>That is two different questions.</p>
<p>(1) Yes, it is passing, in the sense that you earned units that will go towards graduation.</p>
<p>(2) Whether it needs to be retaken depends on the class and the major. Some majors have rules that say all courses for the major must be at least a grade of C. Others say C-minus. In other situations, a higher course will require that the prerequisite be passed with a grade of at least C. You will need to look at the rules for your particular major, and look at the descriptions of all the classes for which this class is a prerequisite.</p>
