Students will have a maximum of three graded attempts to achieve the minimum grades for each IUT requirement, starting with the spring 2024 IUT application cycle. Please note that courses taken as pass/fail, will count as graded attempts. IUT requirement courses and minimum grades are set by each IUT college/school/program and are listed on their IUT webpage.
Each time a prospective IUT course is taken, it counts as one attempt toward fulfilling a specific IUT requirement. Therefore, students who have met or exceeded three attempts in an IUT requirement (not three attempts per course), without achieving the minimum grade, will have their IUT application denied and they will be ineligible to reapply to the same IUT college/school/program.
For example: If a student received failing grades in MATH 2510 twice and in SOCY 2061 once, they would be ineligible for an IUT into any major in Leeds and for the Strategic Communication major in CMCI.
Grade Replacement
The policy will include courses taken as part ofGrade Replacement. Therefore, students will only be permitted to retake an IUT requirement two additional times after their initial enrollment. However, students are permitted to retake courses that also happen to be IUT requirements, if they wish to improve their GPA or any other reason other than for consideration as part of their IUT application.
Exceptions
The following course attempts will not count as a graded attempt for an IUT requirement if changed by the deadlines listed on the Boulder Academic Calendar:
- Dropped courses
- Withdrawn (W) courses
- Retroactive withdrawals
- Transfer courses (taken outside of Boulder)
- Advanced Placement (AP) courses
