Coursera Current 麻豆淫院

General Information

The ME-EM on Coursera program is unique among graduate programs at the University of Colorado Boulder in its modality, admissions, and course design, and therefore has a number of special policies. These policies are listed in the student handbook.

Student Handbook 

The Buff Portal is known as the student portal that will serve as a one-stop-shop for students to find important resources such as managing transactions, viewing class schedule, checking current status, and much more.

Upon first logging into Buff Portal, students must consent to conduct business electronically during their time at CU Boulder. 

Finding Your Grades

Grades are typically posted about 1-2 weeks after classes end for the session. (See the calendar for exact dates.)

To find your grades:

  1. Log into .
  2. In the Grades & GPA tile, click Class Grades.
  3. Click on the relevant term to see grades. 
  4. Click on the class name for more info.

Converting Percentage (%) to Letter Grade (A鈥揊)

You can find the grading breakdown for each course on Coursera. Simply go to the course in question, find the Reading: Syllabus item (usually in Week 1), and then scroll down to the section outlining the uniform letter grade rubric for that class.

Converting Letter Grades (A鈥揊) to the 4.0 Scale

You can convert letter grades to the 4.0 scale with the CU Transcript Key. Note that the Numeric Grades (Law) column there only applies to Law School classes and is unrelated to the MS-DS.
