Academic Standing

Good academic standing in the College of Arts & Sciences requires a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 (C) or above in all University of Colorado work.听

Grades earned at an institution outside of the CU system are not used in calculating the grade point average at the University of Colorado.听However, grades earned at another campus within the University of Colorado system (such as CU Denver and CU Colorado Springs) are used in determining a student's scholastic progress toward their degree in the College of Arts & Sciences.
