How to "mend" a C+?

I’m a 1st year, political science major (IR).

For the 1st and 2nd quarters, my GPA (GE and major) averaged 3.68. But this last quarter, I only got a 3.14 (A, B, B+, C+). My overall GPA is only 3.45 now.

This quarter felt easy in the beginning, but it just hit me in the face.

What can I do about the C+? Someone told me I can retake it and replace it with a better grade, but I thought you have to fail a class to retake it?

Or… should I just suck it up?
