Grading Policy, Withdrawal Dates Amended for Spring
Provost Charles Robinson announced Thursday, Feb. 18, changes to the grading policy and withdrawal dates for the spring 2021 semester:
- Changes to Spring 2021 Grading Policy for Undergraduates: Grades of "F" for undergraduate students will automatically convert in the system to "NC" (No Credit) and will not count in the student's grade-point average. This grading policy only affects undergraduate students and does not apply to graduate or law students.
- Changes to Drop Deadline for Undergraduate and Graduate Students: The deadline (previously April 16) to drop an individual full semester course has been extended to April 29. This extension does not apply to law students.
More information on policy changes made this academic year can be found on the Provost website.
Students are encouraged to consult with their academic advisers for questions and additional understanding on how this may impact them.
