Yes you can "upgrade" your mark, but your previous mark will still count towards your CA. Therefore you should only look to "upgrade" your mark if you need a certain mark in the course (to take another course, or for professional/graduate school for example) or if you need the knowledge for other courses.

Note you can only affect your CA, and not your previous (fall/winter) sessional average.

So if you, say, get a 4 in Microeconomics but you need a 5 for Economics major or something. You then upgrade and get a 12. Both the 12 and the 4 count towards your CA or just the 4?

Both count...so when you calculate your CA
Econ 1BB3 (the first time) = 4 x 3 = 12
Econ 1BB3 (the second time) = 12 x 3 = 36
Other Course = #
other course = #
.

.
And you calculate your CA as such...
