Standing, honors lists, and retakes

Good academic standing at University of Kansas requires a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. Falling below it typically triggers academic warning, then probation, with dismissal only after sustained shortfall — the escalation gives time to recover.

University of Kansas sets Dean's List at 3.50 for the term. Most schools also require a minimum credit load of letter-graded courses, so a light semester or a heavy pass/fail load can disqualify an otherwise-strong GPA.

On repeated courses: KU offers true grade replacement: the new grade replaces the original for GPA purposes (both remain visible on the transcript), but students are capped at a maximum of five total course repeats for replacement across their entire KU career.

Worth knowing about University of Kansas

KU caps grade-replacement repeats at exactly five courses total across a student's whole undergraduate career, a specific numeric ceiling most peer schools don't impose.

Frequently Asked Questions

What GPA do you need to stay in good standing at University of Kansas?▾
A cumulative 2.0. Dropping below it usually starts with a warning rather than immediate probation, and schools generally allow at least one term to recover before more serious consequences apply.
If I retake a course at University of Kansas, does the old grade still count?▾
KU offers true grade replacement: the new grade replaces the original for GPA purposes (both remain visible on the transcript), but students are capped at a maximum of five total course repeats for replacement across their entire KU career.
Will this match what my registrar shows?▾
It should track your official GPA for standard coursework at University of Kansas. Discrepancies usually come from transfer credit, pass/fail courses, or a repeat policy applied to an earlier attempt — all of which the registrar handles and a calculator cannot see.
