Can I take a different class as a retake for a fine arts credit and have it replace my old grade?

Question

I go to a community college in Texas. Two semesters ago, I took Film Appreciation for my fine arts credit. A lot of problems went down in that class, we had two professor switches and each professor had a different syllabus, guidelines, assignments etc. I did my best, but I pulled out a C and not to justify it or anything, but that was about the average for everyone in that class that semester. Anyway, Right now my GPA is sitting at 2.9 and I'm trying to figure out what I can take/retake to bring it up to at least 3.3 (I want to transfer into The University of Texas and major in English).

One of the things I was thinking about was taking another fine arts class (maybe art or music appreciation) instead of retaking film appreciation again. My question was that would the other fine arts class just average out with my film appreciation class as a fine arts credit, or would the new fine arts class grade be my grade for my fine arts credit?

Visit the counseling center and talk to an expert.  The counselor has access to your transcript, knows what classes you are taking, is familiar with the rules about "re-taking" classes, and has tons of experience with the transfer process to University of Texas.  That's the kind of informed background you need advising you.  The counselor will know all of the choices available, which one will work out best, and why.  The few minutes it will take to consult someone who knows the correct answers will be well worth it.

Usually that C is going to stick and stay figured into your cumulative gpa unless you take the same class and get a higher grade
