Grade Replacement FAQs

Is there a deadline?

No. There is not a deadline.

I failed a class with a pass/fail grading basis. Can I submit a Grade Replacement?

No. Under the Grade Replacement Policy, students are not able to replace grades earned in a class graded as pass/fail.

I submitted a Grade Replacement, but my second grade was the same or worse. What happens now?

Unfortunately, once a Grade Replacement is processed, it will remain on your record. If you have remaining credit hours, you may attempt the class again and submit another Grade Replacement. We recommend discussing your options with your academic advisor.

My grade from my initial class attempt is still on my transcript even after my Grade Replacement was processed. Why?

As the Grade Replacement Policy indicates, your original attempt will remain on your transcript. However, the grade from the original attempt will no longer be factored into your overall GPA calculation.

I would like to repeat a class that is no longer being taught by the University of Cincinnati. I am not sure if there is another class that would work as a substitute. Who should I contact?

You will want to work with your advisor to determine if there is a suitable substitute class.
