The best people to ask are probably at the office that maintains the transcript. Almost everywhere, this is the Registrar's Office.
If they had this rule but erased past attempts from their records, wouldn't it be a fairly useless rule? This strongly suggests that they don't erase attempts from the transcript,
that the transcript will show the credits as attempted twice. Now, you won't really "earn" credit in the same course like general biology twice because the credit will "overlap;" only one attempts will count towards your total of ~120 semester hours required for a bachelor's degree, etc.
Sometimes a course has the same number or title but is "repeatable" because the content doesn't overlap, it's really a separate course each time. This could apply to something like a BIO 499 Special Topics in Biology. This won't be the case for a course that repeats about the same content coverage each term or year, like a standard BIO 101 General Biology.
