Is it normal to retake classes in college?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, retaking a class in college is normal. People do it after struggling with a course, to meet a requirement, or to improve a grade.

Yes—college students retake classes for all kinds of reasons: a rough semester, a required course they didn’t pass, a schedule conflict, or simply wanting a stronger grasp of the material. It doesn’t mean you’re not cut out for college; sometimes a class just takes another go.

Policies vary by school, especially around whether the new grade replaces the old one and how many times you can repeat a course, so check your college’s rules or ask an advisor. Most people are much less focused on your transcript than you might think.
