A course can be repeated once for "grade forgiveness."  Only the most recent attempt/grade will count towards the grade point average, but both attempts and both grades will appear on the official transcript. Retaking a course requires prior approval on the "GRADUATE COURSE RETAKE APPROVAL FORM​" available from the Graduate School website. Note only courses designated in the graduate bulletin as "not repeatable for credit" can be retaken this way. Grades for courses that are "repeatable for credit" cannot be forgiven this way.
