How grades convert to points here

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign applies the standard plus/minus scale — 3.7 for A-, 3.3 for B+, 2.7 for B-. Small differences per course, but across 32 or 40 courses they are what separates a 3.5 from a 3.9.

Courses graded credit/no-credit, satisfactory/unsatisfactory, or pass/fail test credit are excluded from the 12-hour Dean's List eligibility count.

Latin honors at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign awards Latin honors by class rank rather than a fixed GPA. College Latin Honors (Highest/High Distinction, Distinction) are set relative to each college's graduating class and recalculated yearly; typical illustrative bands run near 3.5/3.7/3.9 but the real cutoff varies by college and year.

A percentile system means the threshold is only known after the class graduates. Published historical cutoffs are the best available guide, but treat them as approximate — grade inflation pushes them up over time, and a strong cohort pushes them up faster.

Standing, honors lists, and retakes

Good academic standing at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign 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.

On repeated courses: Grade replacement: only the grade from the second enrollment counts toward GPA; both enrollments and grades remain visible on the transcript.

Worth knowing about University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

UIUC's Dean's List is defined as the top 20% of each college's class each semester, so the actual minimum GPA needed fluctuates by college and term — e.g. 3.95 in LAS for 2025–26 — rather than being one fixed number campus-wide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign use plus/minus grading?▾
Yes. A- counts as 3.7, B+ as 3.3, and so on — each modifier shifts the value by 0.3 points.
What GPA do you need for honors at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign?▾
There is no fixed number. College Latin Honors (Highest/High Distinction, Distinction) are set relative to each college's graduating class and recalculated yearly; typical illustrative bands run near 3.5/3.7/3.9 but the real cutoff varies by college and year., so the qualifying GPA is determined after grades are final and moves from year to year. Historical cutoffs are the best guide available in advance, but treat them as approximate.
What GPA do you need to stay in good standing at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign?▾
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 Illinois Urbana-Champaign, does the old grade still count?▾
Grade replacement: only the grade from the second enrollment counts toward GPA; both enrollments and grades remain visible on the transcript.
Will this match what my registrar shows?▾
It should track your official GPA for standard coursework at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. 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.
