Retaking a course
So I did bad in 1 course, I want to retake it so lets say for example you have taken 10 courses last year and just take this 1 course, does the amount of courses on your transcript go to 11 or stay at 10 as im retaking a course.

Your transcript would show 11 courses, however only 10 will go towards your degree. You transcript shows all the courses you've ever taken at McMaster.

So if you take 10 courses the following year with 1 of them being a retake then you will be short 1 course for graduation.

As well, the first grade you got will not be erased. Your new grade will be added to the culmination of your CA
