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. 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. In calculating the grade-point average of a graduate student, only courses taken for unit 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.
Approved extension of time to complete the final examination or other requirements of the course. Applies to both undergraduate and graduate students. The final grade must be reported on the Supplemental Grade Report Form. Only the dean of the student's college may authorize such extension of time in individual cases. If the student receiving the excused grade does not reenroll on the Urbana-Champaign campus, the excused grade, if not removed, becomes an F after one calendar year.
