The following grading system is standardized for all colleges and schools of the university. Each instructor is responsible for determining the requirements for a class, determining the grading scale used, and for assigning grades on the basis of those requirements and grading scale by the grade submission deadline... An incomplete (I) grade indicates that the student did not complete the requirements for the class by the end of the grading period for that semester. Requests for incomplete grades must be initiated by the student and only when, for reasons beyond their control, the student is unable to complete the class requirements within the semester of enrollment. A substantial amount of work (at least two-thirds) must have been satisfactorily completed before approval for such an incomplete grade is given. If an instructor grants a request for an incomplete, the instructor sets the conditions under which the coursework can be completed and the time limit for its completion or if the class should be...

Incomplete grades, along with a last date of attendance (for financial aid purposes) must be submitted by the grading deadline of the term. If the student does not complete the class requirements within one year from the end of the semester in which the Incomplete was assigned, the I grade is converted to a failing (F) grade. If an incomplete-graded class is retaken, it must be completed on the Boulder campus or through Boulder Continuing Education coursework, and the student must re-register for the course and pay the appropriate tuition. The initial grade of I is not removed from the transcript if the course is completed within one year of the end of the term of the previous enrollment. When a final grade has been assigned, the transcript states, "Originally graded as Incomplete." For graduating students, I grades assigned in courses required for a degree must be resolved before degrees may be posted.

Unresolved I grades in required coursework will result in graduation being postponed. Students must reapply for graduation in a subsequent term. I grades assigned in courses not required for their degree must be resolved no later than the grading deadline of the term of graduation. If left unresolved, I grades become permanent and subsequent grade changes are not honored.

Here’s why Academic standing is a measure of your academic success at CU Boulder based on your cumulative CU GPA. Undergraduate students are required to maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.000 or better to be in good academic standing. More information on academic standing can be found here.

Academic Standing | Office of the Registrar | University of Colorado Boulder To review the university’s academic standing policy in full, see the CU Boulder Undergraduate Catalog. Grades reported by instructors are final. Grade changes will be considered only in cases of documented clerical errors and must be approved by the instructor. The instructor, not the department chair or dean, has the authority to change students’ grades. Here is the Grade-Change Workflow for instructors to change grades.

Below is the link of the Grade Replacement policy effective starting Fall 2019 at CU-Boulder. Students interested in taking advantage of this policy are encouraged to discuss it with their academic advisors to make sure their graduation will not be delayed. In March 2019, the Leeds faculty adopted the grading guidelines listed below effective fall 2019. These guidelines are a community norm at Leeds, not a forced curve or mandated distribution. They embody the faculty’s consensus about fairness, level of difficulty, and consistency in the classroom experience across course sections and levels at Leeds. Average course grades should not exceed:

Certain classes may be allowed exemptions from these guidelines due to the unique pedagogical nature of the course. Revision Approved by the Undergraduate Curriculum and Policy Committee (UCPC): February 4, 2021 Honors-only sections [are] granted an exemption from the Leeds grading guidelines due to the selective enrollments that result in a high distribution of top students.

For more details on the university’s academic standing policy, see the CU Boulder Undergraduate Catalog.

A student is considered to be in good academic standing when their most recent cumulative CU GPA is 2.000 or higher. A status of “good academic standing” is not recorded on the academic transcript. Note: This status applies to participation in intercollegiate sports. Succeeding in college is not easy, and many students encounter challenges along the path to earning their degrees. If you’re not in good academic standing, it doesn’t mean that you can’t be successful or that you’re viewed negatively by the university. Rather, this is your opportunity to reflect on your experiences and learn and adopt strategies that will lead to academic success.

When an undergraduate student's cumulative CU GPA does not meet the standards of good academic standing, as defined above, they are placed on one of the following standings: Hey, faculty members!
