Grade replacement enables undergraduate and graduate students to retake a course in which they earned a low grade* in an attempt to improve their cumulative GPAs.

Beginning with the Spring 2022 semester, if a student is retaking an eligible course in which they’ve earned a low grade, grade replacement will be applied automatically. Students no longer need to submit the grade replacement request form by the deadline.Ìý

If a student is retaking a course but does not want grade replacement applied, they may opt out by emailing registrar@colorado.edu by the last day of classes of the semester.Ìý

Other changes:

• There are no longer credit limits on grade replacement.
• Nondegree students enrolled in credit-bearing ²ÊÃñ±¦µä courses are now also eligible for grade replacement. (Law students are still not eligible.)

*Eligible grades includeÌýC- and below for undergraduate and nondegree students; C+ and below for graduate and graduate nondegree students. Grades earned due to academic dishonesty aren'tÌýeligible for grade replacement.
