§ 3-802 Minimum Scholarship Requirements for the Bachelor's Degree

  1. All candidates for a degree must have at least a 2.0 (C) average on all University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign credits counted for graduation requirements and at least a 2.0 average on the combined transfer and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign credits counted for graduation requirements. Certain colleges have established higher scholastic graduation requirements for specific curricula. (Grades in courses taken at the other campuses of the university are counted as transferred.)
  2. Where a course has been repeated, both the original and subsequent grades are included in the average if the course is acceptable toward graduation, but the credit is counted only once. An original failing grade is not removed from the student’s record for a course subsequently passed by special examination. (See § 3‑309 on repeated courses.)
  3. Students at the Urbana-Champaign campus who do not meet the requirements stated above may graduate if they have the minimum grade-point average calculated by either of the following alternate methods:
    1. Exclude courses in which grades of D or F have been recorded not to exceed a total of ten semester hours completed prior to the last thirty hours of work completed at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus, and counted for graduation requirements, or
    2. A grade average of no less than 2.1 for the last sixty semester hours of work counted for graduation requirements and completed at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus, except in those curricula where a higher scholastic graduation requirement is specified.
  4. Each college office, on request, informs the student regarding the scholarship regulations of that college.
