(b) Undergraduates
A uniform method for calculating undergraduate grade-point averages
has been established for all undergraduate colleges on the Urbana-Champaign
campus. These averages are calculated on the basis of all courses
attempted for which grades and credits are assigned and that carry
credit in accordance with the Courses catalog. Grades of S, U, CR,
NC, and PS are reported on the official University transcript but
are not included in the grade-point averages since grade-points
are not assigned to these letter grades. This method of calculation
is used to determine honors, probationary and drop status, financial
aid and scholastic awards, and transfer between colleges on this
campus. For the purpose of computing a grade-point average for graduation,
only the grades received in those courses counting toward the degree,
including grades in repeated courses, are included in the average.
(See also § 3-802.)
(c) Graduates
In calculating the grade-point average of a graduate student, only
courses taken for graduate credit and with grades of A through F
are included in the computation. To be eligible for an advanced
degree, a graduate student must have a grade-point average of at
least 2.75. Some departments require a higher average.
