GPA is Very Important! Please take your grades seriously! There are two grade checkpoints in the Elementary Education program: Students need a 2.75 cumulative GPA for classes in the PTEP portion (IV on the ELED checklist) of the degree and a 3.0 cumulative GPA for your last two semesters which include The Math and Science Practicum and Student Teaching. The more credits you accumulate, the harder it is to raise your GPA with a semester of classes The most practical, efficient, and least stressful strategy is to earn a 3.0 cumulative GPA early in your college career and maintain it throughout your studies

Grade Replacement is the Best way to Raise Your GPA Complete the Grade Replacement form prior to the semester’s drop deadline Once the new grade is posted, the first grade is removed from your GPA Form is available on Registrar’s website Information can be found at www.unco.edu/registrar Contact Financial Aid regarding guidelines Grade Replacement may affect Financial Aid and does affect COF Stipend
