Academic Excellence

College Honors

A student who performs superlatively in course work in the college will be awarded a bachelor’s degree accompanied by the statement “with distinction.” To be eligible for graduation with distinction, a CLAS major must 1) complete a minimum of 45 CU Denver credits with standard grades and 2) achieve a cumulative CLAS GPA of at least 3.750.

Standard grades include all letter grades (i.e., A-F grades, including F grades because of pass/fail attempts). The calculation of a student's cumulative CLAS GPA includes standard grades for all courses (level 1000-9999) within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at CU Denver. As College Honors are awarded for a students' undergraduate degree, graduate courses completed as a non-degree graduate student or a graduate degree-seeking student may be excluded from determining the eligibility for and calculation of College Honors. The calculation of a student's cumulative CLAS GPA does not include grades for transfer courses, non-CLAS courses, or grades excluded through Grade Forgiveness or Fresh Start.

Major Honors

In recognition of a student’s academic achievement within their academic program, majors in the College set criteria through which students can qualify for Latin Honors: cum laude (with honor), magna cum laude (with great honor), and summa cum laude (with highest honor). Eligibility criteria for each level of honors is set by the major. Detailed information can be obtained from the major department or program.

Dean's List

Every semester, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences publishes a Dean's List, honoring students who demonstrate high scholastic achievement. To be eligible for the Dean's List, a CLAS student must 1) achieve a minimum 3.750 CU semester grade point average (GPA) and 2) complete a minimum of 9 credits (6 credits in summer) with letter grades in structured CLAS courses.

Letter grades exclude incomplete, pass, or satisfactory grades. Structured CLAS courses exclude independent study, cooperative education, and internship courses. Semester CU GPAs are not rounded up; therefore, a 3.750 or higher is required to qualify for the Dean's List.

Outstanding Undergraduate

Every Commencement (Summer/Fall and Spring) the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences recognizes up to two graduating students (one BA and one BS) by awarding them "Outstanding Undergraduate." This award is merit based. Candidates will submit a written application, including letters of recommendation. Finalists will be interviewed by members of the Academic Standards Committee.

To be eligible, students must:

  1. Apply for graduation on or before census date of the term they are graduating.
  2. Have a 3.80 or higher cumulative CU GPA. Cumulative GPAs are not rounded up.
  3. Have a total of 60 credits or more from CU Denver at the end of the semester that they are scheduled to graduate (Fall/Summer and Spring).

Requirements

Internships

Undergraduate students may seek credit from an approved professional and structured learning experience that contains academic content and is sponsored by a CLAS faculty member. Internships are helpful for career exploration early in a student’s academic career or for job experience after developing academic content in the major.

Students must have a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA in a minimum of 15 credits of CU Denver course work. A maximum of 12 credits of internship credit per semester and 12 credits overall can be applied toward the 120 credits required for graduation. There may also be limits on the number of credits permitted to take during a semester or total for a specific course ID. Undergraduate students should contact the Experiential Learning Center for details about the internship contract and faculty sponsorship requirements.

Independent Study and Directed Research

Independent studies are faculty-mentored, individually structured courses or research or creative projects designed and scheduled outside of the standard course grid. Independent study allows for investigations beyond the structured curriculum and classroom and exploration of content material that closely relates to faculty and student interest. However, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences does not guarantee that credit earned through an independent study will count toward graduation requirements or be accepted as transfer credits. A maximum of 12 credits of independent study coursework can apply toward the 120 credit graduation requirement. This includes Directed Research.

The CU Denver campus requires manual registration using a Special Processing Form for students participating in independent study. This form constitutes the course syllabus agreement between faculty and student. 

The College faculty developed the following requirements relating to student and faculty participation in independent study. Faculty seeking to waive or modify any of the policies below should work with the appropriate CLAS Associate Dean.

Student Requirements

  • Enrollment as a CLAS student or, if enrolled in another major/minor, school/college, or institution, signed authorization on the Special Processing Form.
  • Junior or senior status for 4840, sophomore status for 2840.
  • Minimum cumulative CU GPA of 2.5 for undergraduates 

Faculty Requirements

  • CLAS tenured, tenure-track, Clinical Teaching Track, Senior Instructor, or Instructor rank.
  • CLAS graduate faculty status for faculty sponsoring graduate independent study.
  • Direct, not indirect, supervision by the designated CLAS faculty member.
  • For instructor-rank faculty, approval by the department chair, though all untenured faculty should limit the number of independent studies and are advised to consult with the chair before taking them on.

Project Requirements

  • CLAS discipline or directly discipline related content, though may be interdisciplinary.
  • Unique or individually executed project content for each student.
  • Not available as, or part of, a structured course offered during the same term.
  • 3 student participation hours per week for each credit hour requested. Note: 4:1 ratio in summer.

Physical Education

A maximum of eight credits of Physical Education can apply toward the 120 credit graduation requirement.

Special Grading Options

Effective Summer 2023 courses that were previously graded on the basis of Pass/Fail (P/F) are now graded with Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U).  This is based on faculty approval of APS 1025 in May 2022.  Students still have the option to use the P+ grading system (P+/P/F) by student selection for elective courses up to the maximum allowed by their program. 

In addition to CU Denver policies covering the P+/P/F or S/U grading option (see the Records and Registration Grading System page of this catalog). CLAS students must adhere to the following college P+/P/F or S/U grading policies:

  1. Courses used to complete a student’s major, minor and certificate may not be taken using P+/P/F or S/U grading.
  2. Courses used to satisfy the CU Denver Core Curriculum Intellectual Competencies (English Composition and Mathematics requirements) may not be taken using P+/P/F or S/U grading.
  3. Courses in the Knowledge Area section of the CU Denver Core Curriculum may be taken on a P+/P/F or S/U basis.

CLAS requires a minimum of 30 credits of courses with letter grades. No more than six credits of P+/P/F or S/U are allowed in any one semester. A maximum of 16 credits may be taken P+/P/F or S/U and counted toward an undergraduate degree.

Second Bachelor’s Degree

Students who have earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Colorado Denver or other regionally accredited institutions may earn an additional bachelor’s degree through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences provided that:

  1. the major for the additional bachelor’s degree is distinctly different from the major(s) of the previous degree(s);
  2. all university graduation requirements are met;
  3. all College of Liberal Arts and Sciences graduation requirements are met; and
  4. all major requirements are met.

Note: Students who earned a previous bachelor’s degree at the University of Colorado and plan on returning to earn an additional bachelor’s degree must reapply for admission to the university. This rule applies to second bachelor's degrees only. Students pursuing double majors must complete requirements for both majors at the time of graduation, in order to earn a double major. 

Explanation of Course Numbers

The College adheres to the course numbering system used at CU Denver. Any enrollment requirements or restrictions by course level are determined by academic programs.

Transfer Credit Information

College Level Examination Program (CLEP)

The use of CLEP subject examinations toward major, minor or certificate requirements is subject to evaluation by the undergraduate major, minor or certificate advisor in the department or program, when an exact equivalency has not been determined, and is treated in a similar way as Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) or transfer credit. To receive academic credit from CLEP, students must present official test results to the Denver Campus Office of Admissions. A maximum of 30 credits of CLEP credit can apply toward the 120 semester hour graduation requirement.

Additional information about AP, IB and CLEP exams can be found on the Records and Registration Transfer Credit page of this catalog. 

Transfer Credit Level Determination

The general rule for determining transfer credit is that the level of credit awarded for a transfer course (lower-division or upper-division) will be determined by the level of the course at the sending/transfer institution. If the sending/transfer institution listed the course as 1000 (or 100) or 2000 (or 200), or if the numbering system otherwise indicates lower-division credit, then it automatically will receive lower-division credit for fulfilling college requirements. If the sending/transfer institution listed the course as 3000 (or 300) or 4000 (or 400), or if the number system otherwise indicates upper-division credit, then it will automatically receive upper-division credit for fulfilling college requirements.

This rule will apply in all cases other than those where course- or student-specific exceptions have been made as described below. Exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis in instances where the sending institution does not use a four-level course numbering system or otherwise indicate lower-and upper-division credit distinctions.

The decision to count a lower-division transfer course to fulfill an upper-division program requirement will be made by the appropriate department chair, program director, or undergraduate program (i.e., major, minor, or certificate) advisor and will apply only to the program for which the chair, director, or program advisor have authority. The academic unit that owns the course prefix for the substituted course holds the authority to make the decision to count a lower-division transfer course to fulfill an upper-division program requirement, even in cases where the substituted course fulfills a program requirement for a separate academic unit.

In cases in which a decision is made to count a lower-division transfer course to fulfill an upper-division program (i.e., major, minor, or certificate) requirement, the credits for that course will not count toward the 30 upper-division credits required for graduation by CLAS.

Transfer Course Evaluation Process

The evaluation of transfer courses follows the guidelines set forth by University of Colorado Denver (Transferring Undergraduate Credit policy 7006), Colorado Department of Higher Education and the Higher Learning Commission. Questions about the transfer evaluation process should be directed to clas.transfer@ucdenver.edu.

Each CLAS department/program has established the criteria they use to determine if/how a course is acceptable for transfer to the University of Colorado Denver. This includes a review of the level, scope, content, expected learning outcomes and academic rigor of the transfer course when making an evaluation decision. The decision to not award credit for a transfer course is based on policies set forth by the institution, State and accreditation commission. Transfer evaluation decisions cannot solely be based on the type of institution or teaching modality (e.g., for-profit, online institutions, or online courses).

At time of admission to the University of Colorado Denver, transfer courses can be entered onto a student's record with one of the following notations:  

  • Direct Equivalency - the transfer course has been deemed equivalent to a specific University of Colorado Denver course and will apply to the student’s degree requirements in the same manner. The only exception is if the transfer course was taken at the lower-division level and is equated to an upper-division course (as described in the Transfer Credit Level Determination section of this page).
  • DEPT_999AE - AE is defined as Already Evaluated. The course has been evaluated, is deemed acceptable for transfer, and was awarded credit at the University of Colorado Denver. However, the course was not deemed equivalent to a University of Colorado Denver specific course. 
  • XDEN_999AE – XDEN is the most generic transfer prefix. Coupled with _999AE, this means the transfer course was determined to be acceptable for transfer based on CU Denver transfer policy and was awarded credit, but the course did not align with a specific department, program, college, or school.
  • DEPT_999TC - TC is defined as Tentative Credit. The transfer course has not yet been evaluated by the University of Colorado Denver to determine if/how the course is accepted for transfer. A course ending with 999TC is not guaranteed to transfer and be awarded credit by the University of Colorado Denver until the evaluation of the course is completed. In addition, a course ending in 999TC will not apply to CU Denver Core Curriculum, CLAS graduation, major, minor, or certificate requirements until the evaluation is complete and the course is deemed a direct equivalent or ends in 999AE
  • XDEN_999TC - XDEN is the most generic transfer prefix. Coupled with _999TC, this means the course needs to be evaluated to determine which discipline is the best match. This course could be evaluated under a specific department/program or be listed under a specific college or school, such as CLAS.

Transfer course evaluation or reevaluation requests can be submitted using the Transfer Course Re-Evaluation Form (Student Use) managed by the Registrar's Office and available on the Degree Audit and Transfer page. All international course evaluations require submission of this form with corresponding detailed course description or syllabus with English translation when appropriate.

Administrative Policies

Incomplete Grade

When a student has special circumstances that make it impossible to complete course assignments, faculty members may choose to award an incomplete grade. All incomplete courses are assigned a grade of Incomplete (“I”). Incomplete grades are not awarded for poor academic performance or as a way of extending assignment deadlines. A CLAS course completion agreement form documenting assignments to be completed as well as the agreed upon due dates is required when faculty and student agree on an incomplete grade. Both parties should keep copies of this agreement and a copy should be retained in the department office or with a designated party such as the department’s Director of Undergraduate Studies. Faculty are not required to award an Incomplete. 

To be eligible for an incomplete grade, students must:

  • Have participated in the class for a significant proportion of the term
  • Have successfully completed a significant proportion of the course assignments
  • Have special circumstances (verification may be required) that preclude the student from attending class and/or completing graded assignments
  • Make arrangements to complete missing assignments with the original instructor by a mutually agreed upon date but within one calendar year. These, as well as assignments and grades completed up to the point that the incomplete is awarded, should be documented on the course completion agreement.

After the agreed upon date or maximum of a calendar year, the “I” reverts to an "F" grade on the student’s transcript if the instructor fails to submit a change of record request to report the earned grade. Any request to allow a grade change after the one-year period must be petitioned to the CLAS Academic Standards Committee.

In order to be on the graduation lists, a student must resolve all incomplete grades before the last day of classes in the semester in which they intend to graduate.

Students should not re-enroll in a course in which they have an incomplete. Re-enrollment in a course in which a student has an “I” could result in a loss of tuition and an "F" grade on the student’s transcript for the original course. A student with an “I” does not need to be enrolled in any course or earning any credits to complete the incomplete work. Completing an “I”  does not require any additional tuition payment.

Course Repeat Policy

Students may re-register for any course and remain responsible for tuition and fees for every course in which they enroll, including repeated courses. Both (all) courses remain on the transcript and both (all) grades are used to calculate the student’s GPA. Course credit toward graduation is counted only once for a typical course no matter how many times the course is repeated. Some types of courses (e.g. Directed Research, Internships, Independent Studies, Special Topics, etc.) may be repeatable for applicable credit within a certain range of total credits. Special Topics courses may be repeatable for applicable credit within a certain range of total credits, as long as each topic is unique and different. See course descriptions for the max credits applicable from each course.

Administrative Add Policy

Students are expected to adhere to all university enrollment and registration deadlines outlined in the Academic Calendar. Students are responsible for checking and finalizing their class schedule in UCD Access to confirm their registration by Census each semester.

An administrative add is a request to register a student in a course when the student is unable to register for the course on their own due to special permissions required to register. Through Census, the College may provide permission to a student to register or may add a student to a class with student and instructor permission.

After Census, a student requesting to enroll in a course must petition and obtain permission for an administrative add from the course instructor and CLAS Academic Advising. Requests for administrative adds after Census are rare and considered only under exceptional circumstances beyond the student’s control or in instances of administrative errors that may have prevented a student’s timely registration. Any requests for an administrative add after Census require students to demonstrate or document circumstances that prevented their ability to register by Census.

Students are responsible for tuition and fees for any course(s) added via an administrative add. Students are responsible for checking with Financial Aid to confirm any aid implications associated with registration in a course via an administrative add.

An administrative add approved by CLAS Academic Advising can be processed provided a course or classroom has capacity for the student; that all prerequisites have been met or that a prerequisite override has been granted; that any special permissions (e.g., credit overload or time conflict) have been granted; and with approval from the Registrar’s Office. An administrative add cannot be processed if a student has holds preventing registration on their record.

Administrative Switch Policy

Students are expected to adhere to all university enrollment and registration deadlines outlined in the Academic Calendar. Students are responsible for checking and finalizing their class schedule in UCD Access to confirm their registration by Census each semester.

An administrative switch is a request to switch from one section of a course to a different section of the same course after Census. Through Census, students are responsible for making any necessary adjustments to their class schedule, including changing sections of a course, in UCD Access. 

In situations in which exceptional circumstances prevented a student from changing sections of a course in UCD Access or a student’s circumstances have changed affecting their ability to participate in the original section of the course, the student may request an administrative switch. An administrative switch requires permission from the instructor of the section to which the student is requesting to switch and from CLAS Academic Advising. Any requests for an administrative switch after Census require students to demonstrate or document circumstances that prevented their ability to make the switch by Census.

Any administrative switch approved by CLAS Academic Advising can be processed provided a course or classroom has capacity for the student; that all prerequisites have been met or that a prerequisite override has been granted; that any special permissions (e.g., credit overload or time conflict) have been granted; and with approval from the Registrar’s Office. An administrative switch cannot be processed if a student has holds preventing registration on their record.

Administrative Drop Policy

Students are expected to adhere to all university enrollment and registration deadlines outlined in the Academic Calendar. Students are responsible for checking and finalizing their class schedule in UCD Access to confirm their registration by Census each semester.
An administrative drop is an institution-initiated action or student-initiated request to drop a course. Through Census, students are responsible for making any necessary adjustments to their class schedule, including dropping a course, in UCD Access.

Administrative Drop - Institution-Initiated Action

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences reserves the right to administratively drop a student from a course if they have not met all system enforced prerequisites. The student is notified that an administrative drop will occur prior to being dropped from a course. All institution-initiated administrative drops typically occur prior to Census so that students do not receive a W on the transcript and are not held financially responsible for full tuition, though there may be fees incurred that students are financially responsible for paying.

Administrative Drop - Student-Initiated Request

In situations in which exceptional circumstances prevented a student from dropping a course in UCD Access or an administrative error resulted in a student enrolling in a course in error, the student may request an administrative drop. An administrative drop requires permission from CLAS Academic Advising. Any requests for an administrative drop after Census require students to demonstrate or document circumstances that prevented their ability to drop a course by Census.

Students are responsible for checking with Financial Aid to confirm any aid implications associated with dropping a course via an administrative drop.

Any administrative drop approved by CLAS Academic Advising can be processed with approval from the Registrar’s Office.

Retroactive Withdrawal

In the event of circumstances that preclude a student from successfully completing a class, it is the student’s responsibility to make any decision to withdraw from a course or courses by the established withdrawal deadlines each semester. It is against normal college policy to allow a student to withdraw after the completion of the semester for which grades are already posted. Students who must stop attending one or more of the classes in which they are enrolled for a term, but who fail to properly withdraw during designated withdrawal periods, may be eligible for a retroactive withdrawal. Courses must have occurred no more than seven years prior to the date of the retroactive withdrawal petition to be eligible.

It is the responsibility of the student seeking a retroactive drop/withdrawal to submit a complete written petition. Detailed instructions can be obtained from the CLAS Academic Advising Office.

Declaring or Changing a CLAS Major or Minor

A complete list of undergraduate programs in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) is available on the CLAS Departments and Programs page.

CLAS students with a declared CLAS program intending to declare or change a CLAS major or minor should complete the CLAS Major/Minor Declaration Form available through the CLAS Academic Advising Office in North Classroom (NC) 1030. CLAS students with a declared CLAS program may also initiate their request to declare or change a CLAS major or minor with their assigned CLAS Academic Advisor.

Degree seeking students on the Denver Campus may change to or add a degree within a different college or school within the university provided they are accepted by the college or school to which they wish to change to or add a degree. Intra-university transfer (IUT) forms may be obtained from the student’s school or college or from the Office of the Registrar. Decisions on intra-university changes are made by the college or school to which the student wishes to change to or add a degree. Intra-university deadlines for all programs are August 1 for fall semester, December 1 for spring semester, and May 1 for summer semester sessions.

CLAS also offers pre-health career tracks/courses of study for students intending to pursue a health profession. Students with a pre-health track/course of study should work with a Health Professions Advisor – located in North Classroom (NC) 3002 – to discuss pathways to their intended health career. Students with a pre-health career track/course of study intending to complete an undergraduate degree must declare a major to graduate.

CLAS Undeclared students should work with Success Advisors in the Center for Undergraduate Exploration & Advising (CUE&A) to create a plan to declare their intended major as early as possible in their undergraduate career. CUE&A is located in Student Commons 1113. Undeclared students intending to declare a CLAS major or minor must complete the CLAS Major/Minor Declaration Form available through the CLAS Academic Advising Office in North Classroom (NC) 1030.
