<p>Okay I'm still figuring this site out so forgive me if I do something wrong. I'm currently enrolled in Santa Monica Community College and received a D in math. I've been told I can't even retake a class I got a D on, can I retake the class? And if so will the D still show up on my record? What exactly will happen?</p>
<p>You can retake it and you SHOULD retake it and replace the grade. </p>
<p>The “new” GPA will have your new(er) grade as long as it is a C or better and the old grade will not be factored in. However, during admissions / future grad school applications they will see your original grade there and your new grade when you retook the course. </p>
<p>It’s in your best interest to take it again and improve.</p>
