CUNY F-Grade Policy
Beginning in the Fall 1990 semester and in any semester thereafter, the grade of F, FIN, or WU is not computed in the grade point average when a student repeats the failed course and receives a grade of C or better. The original F, FIN, or WU, however, remains on the student’s official transcript. The number of failing credits that can be omitted from the grade point average in this manner is limited to 16 for the duration of the student’s undergraduate enrollment in CUNY.
As of Fall 2021, the grade of WU is not a failing grade so will no longer be part of the CUNY F Grade Policy.
