When determining if you are meeting standards, your grades and credits are tallied according to these guidelines:
Attempted credits include grades of A, B, C, D, F, K, I, N, NG, P, Q, R,
S, T, U, W, X, and blank.
Earned (completed) credits include grades of A, B, C, D, K, NG, P, Q, R,
S, T, and X.
If you repeat a course, credits for each time you register will be to added
to your attempted/earned credit totals. However, only the most recent grade
received in the course will be used in the calculation of your cumulative
GPA.
Remedial and ESL (English as Second Language) credit equivalences are included
in the calculation of both attempted and earned hours, but not in calculating GPA.
Transfer and consortium credits accepted by the University of Minnesota,
Twin Cities, will be included when calculating your credit completion ratio
and maximum time frame, but not your GPA. This includes credits earned from
study abroad.
Extended term distance education courses are considered attempted, but
not earned until a grade is submitted.
Audit (V) credits are not considered either attempted or earned.
Undergraduate credits taken while you are a graduate student do not earn graduate credit and are
not included in your credit completion ratio or cumulative GPA. However, they will be included in your
maximum timeframe credit totals.
