It was a math class that she should not have been placed in during registration. Second semester she took the course before it to bring her skills up to speed and then first summer session she re-took the original math class and earned a B+. With so few credit hours, it does make a BIG difference in your GPA. This may be what the OP is doing with one or two courses.

Yes, I understand what you are saying. It's also known as "Grade Replacement Option." The bottom line still is that 14 credits of A are needed to raise a 2.4 to a 3.1. So, she could GRO two classes for six units, get As in those, which would raise her GPA some - and then take 8 units of other classes and get As.
See what I'm saying?
