In my school if you wish to retake a class that is not part of your major, you basically pay for the class, earn no credits, and then it does not factor into your gpa. My adviser told me the only thing they do is put the new grade next to the old one. My question is, Whats the point of retaking a class if it will not help you raise your gpa? also would it still be best if i retake the classes i got lower than a B on? Thanks
