Not a lab science course. It is a discussion course usually
including a research paper.

DO YOU NEED TO RETAKE A COURSE?


The course and grade is always on your transcript
When you retake the course, the new grade
replaces the old grade IN THE GPA.


Replaces even if the newer grade is worse.
New credit is all that counts

Example:
FALL 2013 – ENGL 106 is a D with 4.0 credits
 SPRING 2014 – ENGL 106 is a B with 4.0 credits

The B grade is calculated into your GPA and you get
4.0 credits for English.
Course MUST be taken at a PURDUE campus to
replace a grade AND be the exact same course
number!!
