My roommate said he was going to GRO a course. What is that?
GRO stands for Grade Replacement Opportunity. If you earn a C, D or E in a course, you can GRO the class. Register for the identical course a second time. File a GRO form at the Registrar’s Office by the deadline. The first grade is taken out of your grade point average. It will, however, stay on your transcript. The grade you earn in the class the second time will be the grade calculated into your GPA, even if the grade is lower. You don’t necessarily have to GRO the course the next semester. You can GRO a course any time during your career at UA as long as it is the identical course number and title. You can GRO a total of 3 classes or 10 units, whichever comes first.
