Retaking a Class Ineligible for Grade Replacement

Linda Sprouse — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 17:31:02 +0000

Retaking a Class Ineligible for Grade Replacement Linda Sprouse Mon, 03/24/2025 - 11:31 Office of the Registrar

Dear [first],

According to our records, your enrollment in [Subject] [catalog number] ([section]) in [term] was previously evaluated as eligible for grade replacement.

[Students who are ineligible due to earning a lower grade.]

We’ve evaluated that this class is now ineligible for grade replacement because you earned a lower grade in the latest attempt. (In this situation, grade replacement wouldn’t help improve your cumulative GPA.)

[Students who are ineligible for any reason other than earning a lower grade.]

We’ve evaluated that this class is now ineligible for grade replacement. Some reasons a class may become ineligible for grade replacement include changing to pass/fail, receiving a permanent incomplete grade for retaking a class within one year or the occurrence of an honor code violation. Learn more about grade replacement eligibility requirements.

When you retake a class without grade replacement, the grades from both attempts will be included in your cumulative and major GPAs, credit totals and academic standing.

Visit our website to learn more about grade replacement. If you have questions, please contact us.

COF Error: Resolve Your SSN Mismatch (Targeted Message) Linda Sprouse Tue, 03/18/2025 - 01:00 Office of the Registrar

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email on the following date to students who needed to correct a Social Security number (SSN) mismatch in order to receive COF funds for Spring 2025:

7 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2025
5 p.m. on Tuesday, March 18, 2025

Dear [first],

Your College Opportunity Fund (COF) stipend can't be applied to your bill because the Social Security number (SSN) in your CU Boulder record doesn't match the one in your COF application.

COF was created by the Colorado Legislature to pay a portion of total in-state tuition for eligible undergrads. There's no limit to the number of students who receive it, and you never have to pay it back.

To Correct Your Record

To resolve this error, follow our step-by-step instructions to update your record by 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 1, 2025.

Do not email anything containing your SSN. Doing so could put you at high risk for identity theft.

Once you receive an email confirming that your record was updated, follow our online instructions to authorize COF by 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, May 7, 2025.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Last Day to Drop a Spring Class & Change Pass/Fail Status, 3/21

Anonymous — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Last Day to Drop a Spring Class & Change Pass/Fail Status, 3/21 Anonymous (not verified) Mon, 03/17/2025 - 00:00 Office of the Registrar

Friday, March 21 is the last day for undergraduate and graduate students (law students excluded) to complete the following actions for a full-semester Main Campus class:*

Drop a class: If you drop a Main Campus class after Feb. 1 but remain enrolled in the semester, you'll be required to pay 100 percent of tuition and fees (no refund), and a W grade will post to your transcript.
Change a class's grade mode from letter grade to pass/fail (or vice versa): Only student-option courses** are eligible. The last day to change a class to or from no credit (audit) was Jan. 29.

If you've satisfactorily completed a substantial amount of work for a class but are unable to complete it due to reasons beyond your control, you may request an incomplete (I) grade. This will give you additional time to complete your coursework before your instructor is required to assign your final grade. For more information, see CU Boulder's incomplete grade policy.

*If you're taking a special session Main Campus class, check the special session calendar for that session's deadlines.

**If a department designates a course as student option, it's your choice whether to take it for a letter grade or as pass/fail.

Friday, March 21 is the last day for undergraduate and graduate students drop a class or change pass/fail status for a full-semester Main Campus class.
