Advice on DIY Postbacc

Hi! I'm in the middle of my DIY postbacc. Recently graduated from state flagship university and have a pb gpa of 3.79 from the past summer & fall.
I'm looking to take more spring courses, but the ones I want are closed at my alma mater. So I branched out and found a few local state colleges offering orgo and physics. Would it be okay to retake premed prereqs at these institutions? I've heard that cc credits are not recommended for a postbacc, but is a lower ranking 4 yr institution okay?
* I have C's in Physics and contemplating a retake of Physics 2, along the lines of what an SMP admissions counselor recommended. Would retaking the physics sequence be a good decision?
I really appreciate your feedback and advice!
