Policy

The unit represents the academic work of a single block of three-and-one-half weeks. 一学年有八个街区, and under normal circumstances a student can earn eight units of credit per year and 32 units in four years. 每个单元相当于四个学期学时或六个季度学时. 辅修课程提供 .每门课程有25个学分，扩展课程提供的学分可达 .每学期5个单元. 1月的半学期允许学生学习 .5个学分.

任何入学少于八个街区的一年级学生, 还有其他在七个街区以内注册的学生, must have the prior approval of the registrar’s office within the first two weeks of the semester of reduced enrollment.

学院为所有学生提供双轨制. In a given course, students may choose from the following grading systems:

G Track (信等级s): A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-,D+, D, NC (No Credit), WF (Administrative Fail)

P Track (S/CR/NC): S(A to C-), CR(D+ or D), NC(No Credit), WF(Administrative Fail)

For purposes of computing the grade point average, the following schedule will be used

P Track passing grades are not calculated in the GPA; however, 在任何一个成绩轨道选项下的NC成绩都会在GPA中计算.

D级(CR), D+, and D) under both G and P Track options do not provide credit for All College Requirements (Critical Perspectives, 大学水平语言, 写作能力, 部门主要, minor, 或先决条件).  CR, D+ and D grades will count towards fulfillment of the 32 Unit Requirement only.

There are no restrictions placed on the number of courses a student may choose under each option. However, students are expected to choose the option by which they wish to be graded at the time they register for courses. No change in the grading option is permitted after the next to last day of the block without extenuating circumstances. Students who do not choose a grading track for a course are automatically assigned to the G track by the registrar’s office. A student may, with permission of the course professor, audit (Z Track) a course. 不授予毕业学分, 但是审计, 如果完成成功, 会记录在学生的成绩单上吗.

The college believes its grading system options offer a desirable versatility because they provide a commonly understood set of grades for consideration beyond the campus while preserving a simpler option for students who wish to be free of certain kinds of grading pressures. This “optional system” (P Track) encourages students to take courses they might otherwise avoid out of fear of poor grades, 总的来说，这让学生的“成绩意识”大大减弱.“另一方面, the college avoids the risk that some of its students could be disadvantaged by the grading policy in the competition for jobs or graduate and professional school admissions.

In the interest of a more uniform grading policy that accords with our commitment to high academic standards, the college endorses the following revised statement of the meaning of grades at 科罗拉多大学:

A – Excellent work that reflects superior understanding and insight, creativity, or skill.

B – Good work that reflects a high level of understanding and insight, creativity, or skill.

C -充分的工作，表明准备继续在该领域的研究.

D -边际工作, 仅能达到最低限度, 提出了一个严重的问题，即是否准备好继续在这个领域工作.

S -在A到C -范围内的功.

CR -相当于D+或D的功.

失败的工作，明显不充分，不值得表扬.

WF - A grade of WF indicates that a student failed to withdraw officially from the course after the drop deadline, 或者放弃学术责任.

没有信用等级

If a student does not complete the work of a course and has no satisfactory excuse, 教师必须决定学生的成绩, 这可能是没有信用. 不像不完整, failing grades* cannot be made up and thereby changed to a passing grade simply by turning in a missing paper or taking a missed examination.

*Grades of “NC” and “WF” are failing marks and will be calculated into the student's GPA.

级变化

在每门课程结束时，教师向注册主任提交最终成绩. The judgment made by the faculty member when a grade is submitted to the registrar must be viewed as conclusive. Therefore, a request for a change in a final grade will ordinarily not be approved.

There are, however, rare instances in which fairness might justify a final grade change. 这可能是事实, 例如, when there is demonstrable evidence of a mathematical error in the calculation of a grade, 或者老师在评分时犯了严重错误, such as the failure to read and take into account an entire exam or paper or a significant portion of one. Normally, grade appeals should be resolved between the student and faculty involved. 仅仅改变主意不能成为改变最终成绩的理由.

注册办公室将允许在这些罕见的情况下改变成绩. However, grades are to be considered final and will not be subject to change for any reason after a 12-month period from the end of the course. 此外，在授予学位后，不允许更改成绩. 12个月的期限不适用于即将毕业的学生.

不完整的年级

如果学生不能, 出于一个令人满意的理由, 完成某一课程的工作, they may petition the instructor for a grade of “Incomplete” for that course. Incomplete grades must be made up by the final day of the third block following the block in which the course was taken, unless the instructor sets a shorter time limit for completion of the prescribed work. 未在规定时间内补正的, the registrar’s office will automatically convert it to a grade of No Credit. In no case can an incomplete grade extend longer than one year after the block in which the course was taken.

免除了年级

在课程的第二个星期二之后, students who want to drop a course must petition for a grade of Excused with a registrar. Normally, a grade of Excused will not be approved unless the student is passing and there are extenuating circumstances, 比如生病或受伤, 这些都影响了学生在课程上的进步. 学生必须说明申请免考的具体原因, 教练的推荐信必须被记录下来. 注册办公室将做出最终决定.

重修课程

学生可以重修未通过考试的课程. Such repetition may be required if a student received a “D+” or lower grade in a course in the major field, 或者是先决条件. 学生可以重修他们通过的课程. However, 积分只授予一次, 这两个成绩将被计算到相应的gpa中.
