Re-doing a course...

So I have a feeling that I'm not going to get the most fantastic of grades in a course I'm taking this semester along with co-op (word of advice, if you have a super busy work term, don't take a course!!!)

This course was done DE...if I take it on campus in the future, does anyone know if that counts for re-doing the course? Or do I have to take it DE again? I e-mailed the adviser for that faculty, but she didn't respond.

    As far as I am aware, taking the same course number (ie POL 151) again counts as re-taking the course... it shouldn't matter whether you're taking it online or not. (To the computer system, the difference between a distance course and an in-person course is the same difference as an evening versus daytime course.)

    So, in short, it should be fine if you take it in-person, and you should get to keep the second grade.

    Kevin is correct.

    Regardless of rather you take a course on campus or via DE, it still counts as a retake. I am pretty sure you know about the "you can only retake the course once" rule. If not, you can only attempt the course twice and you will need permission from the academica advisor if you want to give it a third try.
