At my university, you may take a course up to three times and have your grade replaced. For example, say you take a class and get an F the first time, retake it and get a D the second time, then you are allowed to retake it a third time and not only will the grade be completely replaced (assuming you earn a higher grade, of course), the previous class attempts will not show up on your transcript. After the third time, however, your attempts stay on your transcript forever, as well as the final grade, and your grade will be averaged with previous attempts, rather than replaced. As far as I am aware, you may do this for any course, it is not limited to 'freshman' or introductory courses.
