Let's say I receive a grade that I'm not satisfied with, like a C+ or B-.

If I choose to take the course again, then would my first grade still be present on my transcript.

What if I get a lower grade, would that grade "stick"?

Is this a feasible way to raise my GPA?

It's specific to your school, so check your course manual or talk to your advisor about it whether or not it's worth repeating the class.
