middle column at the bottom.

And cram like there's a final coming up before the course starts so you can nail it start-to-finish, there is only 1 repeat allowed per course (unless you get special permission)

I've always been curious, what if you used your repeat and you get refused special permission? I've never repeated a course before but I'm just curious if this happens is your career basically fucked? Because what if it's a requirement for your major.

The F will show up in your transcript, but it will be replaced in your GPA.

@TalkUBC I have a friend who had to change majors because they wouldn't let him take a course a 3rd time.

@Shayan Wow that sucks if you weren't focusing on any of electives or WQB, all those core courses would be money down the drain then!

I guess you could transfer schools too though if they have unlimited repeat policy.
