Most classes at Stanford are not repeatable for credit, meaning you can only earn the units for them once. You may choose to repeat the course a second time. But if you technically passed the class the first time around (i.e. earned either a Credit grade or a D- or better Letter Grade), you will not gain any additional units for taking the class ag...

Academic Progress Requirements and Graduation
Remember that when you repeat a class where you have already earned the units once, you will not earn those units for a second time. (Technically speaking, the units get subtracted from your first course enrollment instance and added to your second course enrollment instance, so that there is no net gain in units.) This may put you at risk of not meeting your minimum requirements for satisfactory academic progress. Even if you remain in good academic standing, remember that you need to earn 1...
Classes Aren't Easier the Second Time Around
Don’t assume that just because a class is a repeat, it’s going to be easier. And definitely don’t assume you’ll automatically get a higher grade! Maybe the class has changed-- professors regularly refresh their material even when teaching the same class, and if the instructor isn’t the same one you had before, the class may be even more different.

Course Repetition. A student may repeat a course for which his or her highest earned grade is a C- or below. A student may also repeat a course, when approved by the appropriate academic dean, for which he or she needs to earn a higher grade in order to fulfill a prerequisite or a course requirement for a degree, major, or minor (see specific ...
Repeating Courses. Overview. Students may repeat courses in which a grade of D+, D, D-, F, or a NP is earned. This page will help you better understand how repeats will impact your GPA, how they appear on your transcript, the number of times a course can be repeated, and more. Basic Repeat Policies.
Guiding Principles. Transcripts should reflect as much as possible the actual record of student activity in a course. If a student in fact takes the course twice, both instances should be recorded.
A change in the course by the department through the curriculum process may remove an automatic repeat from the old course to the new. Repeating the same course more than once may impact your financial aid eligibility.
