GPA calculation and grades

To determine your GPA for admission, we include all attempted credits for which you received an A, B, C, D, or F, even in repeated courses. Incompletes and withdrawals are not considered in the transfer GPA.

We accept transferable courses with grades of D- except for courses required for transfer admission (one college-level writing course and one college-level mathematics course) and for courses that satisfy the general education requirements in writing, mathematics, and a second language. Grades of C- or better, P, or S are required in these courses.

We accept transferable courses graded P or S. However, we recommend that you take no more than 12 credits of P or S work at your transfer school. We also recommend that all courses in your intended major, as well as writing, mathematics, and second languages, be taken for letter grades. If your school offers only P/N (pass/no pass) or S/U (satisfactory/unsatisfactory) grades, contact the UO Office of Admissions.
