received by the student:
(i) repeat the
course one or more times; or
(ii)
enroll in and complete a comparable course.

course grade and grade point average to reflect the student's highest grade and

exclude from the student's permanent record the course grade that is not the
highest grade; and

otherwise indicate on the student's current record that the student repeated
the course.

course, the student shall, at the time of enrolling in the comparable course,
inform the student's LEA of the student's intent to enroll in the course for
the purpose of improving a course grade.
(b) If a student enrolls in a comparable
course, the student's LEA:
(i) shall confirm,
at the time the student enrolls in the comparable course, that the comparable
course fulfills the same credit requirements as the course that the student
intends to replace with the comparable course grade;
(ii) shall update the student's current
record and grade point average to reflect the highest grade between the course
and the comparable course and exclude the lower grade and corresponding course;
and

indicate the course or comparable course for which the student did not receive
the highest grade on the student's record.
