Retaking a Class Ineligible for Grade Replacement
We started sending this email on Friday, May 23, 2025, to students who were enrolled in a Fall 2025 class that was evaluated as ineligible for grade replacement.
Dear [first],
According to our records, your enrollment in [Subject] [catalog number] ([section]) in [term] was previously evaluated as eligible for grade replacement.
[Students who are ineligible due to earning a lower grade.]
We’ve evaluated that this class is now ineligible for grade replacement because you earned a lower grade in the latest attempt. (In this situation, grade replacement wouldn’t help improve your cumulative GPA.)
[Students who are ineligible for any reason other than earning a lower grade.]
We’ve evaluated that this class is now ineligible for grade replacement. Some reasons a class may become ineligible for grade replacement include changing to pass/fail, receiving a permanent incomplete grade for retaking a class within one year or the occurrence of an honor code violation. Learn more about grade replacement eligibility requirements.
When you retake a class without grade replacement, the grades from both attempts will be included in your cumulative and major GPAs, credit totals and academic standing.
