Policy Statement

The following minimum grade‐point average policy applies to all undergraduate students

  • Students must maintain a 2.0 GPA in their coursework at the University of Missouri.
  • Academic units may impose additional grade‐point requirements.
  • In general, the UM GPA is calculated by dividing the total grade points earned in courses on any UM campus by the total number of graded semester hours attempted. If a course attempted within UM is repeated, the previous hours and grade point remain in the student’s GPA. Courses taken credit/no credit, courses earning grades of S, P, I or AT, and courses transferred from non‐University of Missouri institutions are not included in the UM GPA calculations.

Reason for Policy

This policy was developed to support student academic success and to provide consistent, quality delivery of academic programs and services.
