How University of Colorado Boulder calculates GPA
University of Colorado Boulder (Colorado) calculates GPA as a credit-weighted average: multiply each course's grade points by its credits, add them up, and divide by total credits. The detail that matters is the grade scale.
The CU Boulder grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: CU Boulder's standard scale tops out at A = 4.0 (no A+ row) and runs A-=3.7, B+=3.3, down to D-=0.7, F=0.
Failing grade: University of Colorado Boulder uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Grade replacement: an eligible undergraduate retake (original grade C- or lower) replaces the earlier grade in the GPA, as long as the new grade is the same or better; otherwise both count.
Academic standing
Minimum 2.0 GPA. The grading system is standardized across all CU Boulder colleges. P = D- or above under pass/fail.
Good to know
CU Boulder uses a standard 4.0 plus/minus scale that tops out at A = 4.0 (its published table has no A+ row) and runs down to D- = 0.7. Grade replacement applies when an eligible course is retaken and the new grade is at least as high.
