Retaking a required course
Hey guys, Im a Econ student trying to transfer into honours. It says you need a 6.0 in 2GG3 and 2HH3 but I was sick during exam week and felt I did poor on my exams (I had to defer my math exam). Anyways, Im wondering if I retake these courses and get higher than a 6, will I be able to go into honours? Or will it average my marks and take the average of it? Also, do you think there is a way I can retake the course by having a fresh start on my transcript?

Thanks

Every course I've taken averages the two marks. Some courses have one (new) *course* take the place of the other mark, but retaking a particular course (i.e. taking the course with the same code) always results in this 'averaging'.
