Grades & Grade Point Average

The letters A, B, C, D, S (satisfactory), and CR (credit) are used to indicate passing work. The letters F and U (unsatisfactory) and NC (no credit) indicate that the quality of work was such that, to obtain credit, the student must repeat the regular work of the course. P (progress) represents satisfactory progress, an interim grade pending completion of a subsequent term’s course work.

NOTE: there are four types of GPA used depending on the determination needed:

• KU GPA: all KU attempted A-F hours – a 2.0 is required for graduation.
• KU + Transfer: GPA of all hours taken at KU and transferred to KU. 
• Major KU Junior/Senior GPA: junior/senior level major hours taken at KU used for certifying graduation with the major – a 2.0 is required for graduation.
• Minor KU GPA and Certificate KU GPA: minor or certificate hours taken at KU used for certifying completion of the minor or certificate – a 2.0 is required to earn the minor or certificate.
