Standing, honors lists, and retakes

Good academic standing at University of Washington 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 Washington 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: A course may be repeated once with departmental permission; both grades stay on the transcript and both count in the GPA (not averaged, not replaced) — credit is earned again only if the first attempt was a 0.0.

Worth knowing about University of Washington

UW does not use letter grades as the grade of record — instructors report a decimal GPA value from 4.0 to 0.7 directly (e.g. 3.8, 3.4), and there is no A+; 4.0 is the ceiling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What GPA do you need to stay in good standing at University of Washington?
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 Washington, does the old grade still count?
A course may be repeated once with departmental permission; both grades stay on the transcript and both count in the GPA (not averaged, not replaced) — credit is earned again only if the first attempt was a 0.0.
Will this match what my registrar shows?
It should track your official GPA for standard coursework at University of Washington. 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.
