If I didn't do well in community college can I retake classes?

Published

I live in Toronto, Canada and my average in high school was a little below 70% so I went to community college and got an associates degree in practical nursing. My average in community college(Humber) was around 65% and now I want to try and upgrade to registered nursing at a university. Can I retake classes at community college/high school and raise my average so I'll have a better looking application when I try to apply for the bridging program?

edit: By the way I've been working as an RPN for 2 years now.

I do not think you can re-take high school courses, but, you can certainly re-take college courses. I am not sure about re-taking nursing courses, but, you can re-take chem, micro, etc.

You can't retake stuff after you have graduated as an RPN. The bridging program will look at your average from the RPN course you completed. Most bridging programs require an average of 85% form the RPN program to get in.They will not consider courses that are retaken.

RPN is not an Associates degree, it's a diploma.
