No change of final grade for a completed course will be made without the approval of the instructor’s dean. Deans will consider the grade change upon the receipt of the instructor’s written explanation. No grade will be changed after the degree is awarded. Extra work may not be submitted for a higher grade after the final grade has been assigned.
Repeating Courses
Students may not repeat courses for which credit has already been earned, either at Baruch College or in transfer from another college. Students who register for a course where credit has previously been earned will be dropped from the course. It is the policy of the College’s three schools that students will be allowed to register no more than three times for any single course.
Your GPA and Credits Earned at Another College
Grades never transfer from one institution to another; only courses and credits transfer from institutions outside of CUNY.
Grades received for work completed at another college are only computed in a student’s index in determination of graduation honors or are used to calculate the pre-business GPA
for eligibility to the Zicklin School of Business; these grades are calculated according to Baruch’s Academic Policies.
Academic Probation
Effective Fall 2014, first-semester freshmen and first-semester transfer degree seeking students who have an academic standing of ‘Eligible to Continue’ should view that classification as an alert to work diligently to improve their academic performance (i.e., cumulative grade point average). Improvements will prevent academic sanctions. The student is urged to utilize the resources offered by the College, including the Center for Academic Advisement and New Student Orientation and the Student Academic Consulting Center (SACC). The services of these offices include mapping out courses, tutoring, workshops, and career advice.
Students will be placed on academic probation at the end of the fall/spring semester if their cumulative GPA falls below the minimum level indicated previously. Students will have one semester in which to raise their cumulative GPA. Failure to maintain a GPA of better than C (i.e. 2.01) during the semester will result in academic dismissal.

The following courses are required for any bachelor’s degree: ENG 2100, ENG 2150, COM 1010, PSY 1001, and, and minimally, a 2000-level MATH course (and/or an H or T version of these courses). Failure to complete one or more of these courses after three registrations will result in dismissal from the College. Students who take, but do not pass, one of the aforementioned courses for the second time will be placed on rate-of-progress probation and should see an academic advisor as soon as possible. Failure to complete the course(s) in question by the end of the third attempt will result in dismissal. While on rate-of-progress probation, a student will be restricted to no more than four courses (13 equated credits) each semester.

- A maximum of 16 credits of failing grades (F, FIN, WN, WU) may be deleted from the calculation of the cumulative GPA during an undergraduate’s enrollment in CUNY. Whether students remain at a single college or transfer from one CUNY college to another, no more than 16 credits of failing grades can be replaced in the calculation of the cumulative GPA. Should the 16-credit limit be reached at a college other than Baruch, a student will not be permitted to replace failing credits at Baruch.
- The course(s) used to replace failing grades must have been taken in the fall 1990 semester or later.
- If a course for which a student wants the failing grade to be replaced by a grade of C or better was taken prior to September 1, 1984, the student must receive the approval of the appropriate committee on academic standing.
- For a grade of C or better to replace a grade of F in the calculation of the cumulative GPA, the failing grade cannot have been received at another college. The repetition of the course must take place at Baruch; it may not be taken on permit to another institution.
- A failing grade may not be partially replaced. If a student has replaced 14 credits of failing grades and subsequently receives a grade of C or better in another 3-credit course previously failed, the failing grade cannot be replaced.
- If a student has received more than one failing grade for the same course and subsequently earns a grade of C or better in the course, the failing grades will be deleted from the calculation of the GPA, subject to the 16-credit limit.
- If a student fails a course that was taken on a pass/fail basis and subsequently retakes the course, a grade of C or better must be earned in order for the failing grade to be replaced.
- If the course number or title of a course was changed in the period between the receipt of the failing grade and the repetition of the course but the content remained the same, the failing grade will be replaced if a grade of C or better was received in the repeated course.
- If the content of the course was changed in the period between the receipt of the failing grade and the repetition of the course, or when a student has been allowed to substitute one course for another, the declaration of course equivalency for the purpose of deleting the failing grade from the calculation of the cumulative GPA will be at the discretion of the appropriate committee on academic standing.
- The cumulative GPA calculated on the basis of this policy is to be used for purposes of retention and graduation from the College and the admission to and continuance in a major or specialization. It will not be used to calculate graduation honors, the Dean’s List, or departmental honors at graduation.
