  • CU Boulder is providing a grace period for Spring 2020 classes with a pass/fail deadline of April 30 or May 1. Undergraduate and graduate students now have until 11:59 p.m. on Monday, May 11, to submit a pass/fail request form to change their grade mode from letter grade to pass/fail or vice versa.
  • Some students are currently experiencing issues when attempting to change a Spring 2020 class's grade mode to pass/fail.

  • For Spring 2020, the provost recently announced that CU Boulder will lift restrictions on pass/fail credits for all majors and degrees (other than law) and allow those students to declare a pass/fail option for most classes.

  • As of Spring 2020, we've pushed back the deadline to submit a grade replacement request form to allow students more time to request grade replacement. The Spring 2020 deadline for 16-week classes is Friday, March 20.
  • If grades have posted for a student's approved grade replacement class, their current and most recent prior attempts are now indicated in Campus Solutions by UGRI/GRRI and UGRE/GRRE repeat codes, respectively.
  • The Fall 2019 deadline to request grade replacement for 16-week classes was Sept. 13. In the interest of equitably enforcing this policy for all students, we do not grant exceptions to posted deadlines.
