TRANSCRIPT NOTES:

1. Temporary grade, work below passing, student given opportunity to take supplemental examinations to raise grade to D. Eliminated n 1950-51
2. Effective Fall 1997, faculty use of +/- grading is optional and .33 calculations were used for plus grades and .67 calculations were used for minus grades.
3. Effective Fall 1999, faculty use of +/- grading is optional and .33 calculations were used for plus grades and .67 calculations were used for minus grades.
4. Effective Spring, .334 calculations are used for plus grades and .667 calculations are used for minus grades.
5. Colorado State University calculates the GPA to the third decimal place, but for transcript purposes, they are displayed to the second decimal place.
6. t = not used in grade point average calculation.
7. OC indicates course was taught off-campus (used prior to 1969).
8. CCTV indicates course was taught through closed circuit television (used prior to 1969)
9. * indicates graduate GPA not necessarily used to meet scholastic standards for graduate students
10. X indicates Fresh Start when preceding the grades. Credits not used in GPA calculations.

    The Academic Fresh Start policy allows returning undergraduate students to establish a new academic record upon their return to Colorado State University. A student who enrolls after being granted an Academic Fresh Start has a demarcation on the permanent academic record to differentiate the previous record from the new academic record achieved under the Fresh Start policy. Only grades earned after the Fresh Start demarcation are computed in the new GPA. Credits for those courses in which grades of at least "C-" or "S" were awarded prior to the Fresh Start may be applied toward graduation requirements even though they will not be calculated into the GPA. For a student to be eligible for an Academic Fresh Start, five or more years must have lapsed since the last semester of enrollment as an admitted degree-seeking student, regardless of the number of credits completed during enrollment. More information regarding this policy is available through the Colorado State University catalog at www.catalog.colostate.edu.

11. R indicates Repeat/Delete when preceding the grade. Credits not used in GPA calculations.

Repeat/Delete is a one-time per course grading option that may be used by undergraduate students who repeat a course. More information regarding this policy is available through the Registrar's home page at www.colostate.edu/Depts/Registrar.

12. GT indicates that the course listed above this code is approved for the statewide general education transfer program used among Colorado public institutions.
13. AD indicates academic dishonesty and is noted below the course number.
