Yes, but not in all cases. Often a course that meets the USP requirement may also meet the major requirement for the degree offered. For more information on specific courses, it is best to consult with your advisor.
A credit is a value assigned to each course that reflects the number of hours the class will meet with the professor each week. A one-credit course meets for one hour each week with a ten-minute break. A three-credit course meets for 150 minutes per week (three hours with three ten-minute breaks).
A Grade Point Average (GPA) is a numeric indicator for a student's academic performance, calculated on a scale of 4.0. Most courses at the University of Wyoming changed from a plus-minus system to a simple letter grade system in 2019. Courses required for USP or major will need to be completed with a C or better to count toward a degree.

Your midterm and final grades will be available on WyoWeb as soon as they are submitted by your instructors each semester. They may be found on the “Student Resources” tab, in the “Student Grades” channel. Do not rely on the grades posted within the Canvas course shell (WyoCourses) for each of your courses since some instructors do not update those grades as regularly as others.
