Retaking a class

<p>I understand that you can only retake a class if you received a C- or below,. I was wondering if it was possible to petition to retake a class if you got a C in it. Have any of you guys had experiences with this?</p>

<p>a C is not worth retaking, but if you must, I would go to murphy hall or your major's advisor</p>

I am quite certain that your success rate would be less than 50%. Most likely, the instructor will not change the C- rule. The only thing that can happen is if you beg your instructor to give you a C- instead of a C. I don't know many if any professors who will do that, at least for South Campus. If you can't do that, then sorry, you can't retake the course.</p>

<p>most professors view students who beg for a c- in the same bad light as a student begging for a bump in a letter grade. my friend told me that one of the old biochem professor yelled at a student for asking for a lower grade just so they could retake the class so loud that you could hear it down the hallway</p>

<p>lmao....it would suck to be that student...i dunno about u guys but dont you all have a limited number of repeatable classes? cuz for econ dept. you are only allowed to repeat one lower div and one upper div.</p>

<p>for the college as a whole, you're limited to 12 units.</p>

<p>if you repeat more than that, then ALL the grades (original and retakes) count for GPA.</p>
