they offer to exclude the course from the GPA

That is meaningless. The only thing that matters is whether both grades are on the transcript they’ll give you or only the newer grade. Colleges don’t use the gpa supplied by your HS & dual-enrollment school, they calculate it on their own based on the courses and grades on your transcript.

Furthermore if you retake the class next semester and you are a senior now (since you posted about classes you took last year as a junior) then the grade you get won’t be given until May/June, well after colleges have made their admission decisions. So how can a higher grade not known before decisions are made help?
