Grading Procedures and Guidelines
  • The grade the student earns on her/his high school transcript for the high school course need not match the grade the student earns on her/his University of Colorado Colorado Springs transcript for the CU - Succeed course. In particular, a student may choose to Withdraw from a CU - Succeed course without withdrawing from the associated high school course.
  • The grade 'W' (for Withdraw) may be given to a student after the drop deadline (the last day for a student to disenroll) and before the withdraw deadline. No Withdraws are allowed after the withdraw deadline.
  • There are no Incomplete grades. Students who are still enrolled in the course after the withdraw deadline must be given a letter grade.

  • In most cases, students are officially enrolled in the CU course during Spring Semester. 
    Exceptions include:

    1. Courses that begin and end within the Fall Semester (approx. August - December)
    2. Courses where two semesters of credit are awarded, i.e. Calculus BC, which includes credit for Calculus I in the Fall Semester and Calculus II in the Spring Semester, or General Physics, which may include credit for General Physics I in the Fall Semester and General Physics II in the Spring Semester

    Students will be notified by their teacher if their course includes a Fall Semester enrollment in addition to or instead of a Spring Semester enrollment.

  • Applicable for math courses:
    • At least 10%, and no more than 20%, of a student's grade will be determined by student performance on homework and other out-of-classroom assignments.
    • The remaining percentage of the student's grade will be determined by student performance on in-class exams. There will be in-class 'midterms' throughout the course, and a comprehensive final. The comprehensive final exam must count for at least 25%, but no more than 40%, of the student's course grade.
