S, U and NC grades could help a student maintain their current GPA because they will not impact the GPA. However, U grades do not count towards the UCF Hour requirement. This may result in you being deficit in the required number of UCF hours you must complete. Your renewal eligibility will be determined at the end of your evaluation period, i.e. Students who started Fall 2021 and after your renewal eligibility will be evaluated at the end of Summer. For students who started before Fall 2021, your renewal eligibility will be evaluated at the end of Spring.
