Retaking a Class Eligible for Grade Replacement

Retaking a Class Eligible for Grade Replacement Anonymous (not verified) Tue, 03/10/2026 - 13:14 Office of the Registrar

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email on Monday, March 9, 2026, to students who were enrolled in a Summer 2026 class that was evaluated as eligible for grade replacement.

Dear [first],

According to our records, you've enrolled to retake the same class or a direct equivalent of [Class] in Summer 2026. We've evaluated that this class is eligible for grade replacement.

Grade replacement is applied automatically at the end of each term for eligible courses and students. We’ll send you another email once grade replacement has been applied to your record (after grades have posted at the end of the semester).

Remember, the grade you earned in the most recent prior attempt will still appear on your transcript, but it will be replaced in your cumulative GPA and credit totals by the grade from your latest attempt as long as that grade is the same or better.

Repeating a Course Without Grade Replacement

If the course becomes ineligible for grade replacement, grade replacement won’t be applied and the grades from both attempts will be included in your cumulative and major GPAs, credit totals and academic standing. For example, if a lower grade is earned in the latest attempt, or if you withdraw or drop the class. Learn more about the eligibility requirements for grade replacement.

You may also repeat a course without grade replacement by submitting an opt-out request from your Colorado email to registrar@colorado.edu by the last day of the semester. Opting out of grade replacement is irreversible. Please meet with your advisor to discuss how opting out of grade replacement will impact your GPA and academic standing.

If you have any questions, please review our grade replacement webpage or contact us.

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2026, to Main Campus, degree-seeking students (not law) who were enrolled at least half time in Spring 2026 classes and did not receive the Spring 2026 advance enrollment e-memo in mid-December.

Dear [first],

Has your car insurance, student loan, scholarship, medical or other provider requested verification of your 91��ý enrollment?

If so, your enrollment verification is now available for Spring 2026.

Note: These verifications display your financial aid enrollment status only. Some graduate students qualify as full- or half-time based on their academic load, but as only half- or less-than-half-time based on their financial aid load. If you're one of those students, you may need to email the Office of the Registrar to discuss your options for a verification.

Status Change: Placed in Nondegree Program (Targeted Message)

Status Change: Placed in Nondegree Program (Targeted Message) Linda Sprouse Fri, 01/09/2026 - 00:00 Office of the Registrar

Who Received This Email?

We sent this email at 1 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 9, 2026, to students who were administratively placed in a nondegree program for Spring 2026.

Dear [first],

Our records indicate that although you graduated from 91��ý in December, you're registered for one or more Spring 2025 classes in the same degree program.

Students who've graduated from a degree program aren't allowed to take additional courses in that program; therefore, we've placed you in a nondegree program for the summer and/or fall semester(s). You're still enrolled in your classes.

Note: If you received an undergraduate degree but are still completing requirements for an additional major, please contact your advisor.

Your Next Steps

Enrollment changes like this one may result in an adjustment to your bill and financial aid package. Check your tuition and fee balance in Buff Portal and visit the Continuing Education website or meet with an advisor to learn more about nondegree tuition and fees.

As a nondegree student, you'll register for Main Campus classes through ACCESS in the future. If you wish to pursue another degree, you may:

Apply to pursue another undergraduate degree.
Apply to pursue a graduate degree (contact the department offering the degree).

If you have questions about why this change occurred, please contact the Office of the Registrar.

[Course info]

Effective Spring 2022, grade replacement is applied automatically at the end of each semester when a student repeats an eligible course, and there is no longer a limit to the number of credit hours students can use for grade replacement. However, some academic programs have limits on the number of course repeats allowed for specific courses or number of attempts for degree applicability.

Note: Grade replacement may be revoked by action of the Office of Student Conduct if an honor code violation is found to have occurred.

About Your Transcript & GPA

Remember, under grade replacement the grade you earned in your most recent prior attempt will still appear on your transcript, but it will be replaced in your cumulative GPA and credit totals by the grade from your latest attempt as long as that grade is the same or better.

If you have any questions, please review our grade replacement webpage or contact us.
