Grade Point Average (GPA)

The University of Denver requires students to maintain an overall GPA of 2.0 (on a 4 point scale) to remain in academic good standing. Students whose GPA falls below 2.0 are placed on probation and eventual suspension. The University Bulletin contains details on this process.

A Major GPA of 2.0 or greater is also required for graduation. In Engineering, all courses with prefixes ENBI, ENCE, ENEE, ENGR, ENME, ENMT, and MTSC are Major courses. The procedure for calculating the Major GPA is the same as that used by the University in calculating the overall GPA. All courses in the curriculum must be passed, and all required Major courses must be passed with a grade of C- or better.

Students in the Coordinated Engineering/MBA programs are required to have a GPA of 3.0 or better in the MBA program. This includes all courses applied toward completion of the MBA, which includes the 4 quarter hours of engineering courses designated as an Elective for the MBA. Only grades of C- or better may be applied to the MBA.

Only courses taken at the University of Denver are considered in the calculation of the overall, Major, and MBA GPA’s.
