Are you feeling discouraged by your grades at Leeds? Do you study the required material but find tests scores do not reflect your effort? 

Take action and sign this petition to end the grade deflation guidelines at Leeds School of Business CU Boulder.

Why you should care:

• Low GPA greatly reduces your chance of getting a job and makes you a less desirable candidate. 
• Minimum requirement for job recruiters 3.0. On average 46% of Leeds students have less than 3.0 GPA.
• Low GPA reduces chances of attending desired graduate programs.
• Low GPA can negatively affect starting salary.
• Leeds is the only business school in Colorado with a grade deflation policy. Thus when up against students from other Colorado Universities GPA matters.
• Originally based on top-tier business schools who have since gotten rid of such guidelines in favor of overall higher student grades.
