COVID-19 Update: Pass/No Credit Option Approved

亲爱的同学们,

In this period of fear and uncertainty brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, we understand that you may have concerns about how you will transition to remote learning and, 最终, how successful you will be in completing your spring semester 2020 coursework. After reviewing the actions of a growing number of 机构s that have instituted emergency grading protocols, bet365中文大学’s administration and faculty have approved a pass/no credit option for students.

结果是, graduate and undergraduate students may elect, in consultation with their academic advisor, to receive a pass/no credit grade to apply to your spring 2020 main campus courses that currently use the standard letter grades (A–F). The conversion of the letter grade to the pass/no credit scale is: 

• 本科生: 学生 electing this option and receiving a "C-" grade and higher will be issued a "P" grade. 学生 electing this option and receiving a grade of "D" or "F" will be issued an "NC" grade. A "D" grade counts toward degree 完成 for general education (ACE) and general electives courses.
• 研究生: 学生 electing this option and receiving a "B-" grade and higher will be issued a "P" grade. 学生 electing this option and receiving a grade of "D" or lower will be issued a "NC" grade. Since graduate programs have differing program standards and accreditation, 得到C+成绩的学生, C, C- will need to consult with their program.

2020年春季 While the pass/no credit option is now available, we encourage you to consider all grade options available to you. A summary of your options is noted below, and additional details with corresponding deadlines are found on the 学业记录网站:

• 退出课程(W)
• Request an incomplete contract from your instructor (I)
• A deferred grade (DG) is available for approved practicums, thesis and dissertations as noted in the bulletin
• Receive the earned letter grade (A–F, S/U)
• Elect a pass/no credit grade with your advisor (P/NC)

注意事项: As you weigh the above options in light of the transition to remote learning, it is important for you to be aware of the implications before making a decision. For a comprehensive list of considerations, please go to the 学业记录网站.

• Is there a minimum number of credits needed for you to maintain your status (semester load of full-time or half-time)?
• 这个分数对我有影响吗 平均绩点?
• 这个分数算在我的分数里吗 总学分?
• 这个分数算进去吗 完成? What is the minimum grade needed in order to count toward my major, cognate, ACE, degree? You can find those answers in consultation with your advisor.
• Does this grade negatively impact my satisfactory academic progress and 经济援助资格? Consult your 学生财务服务 advisor to determine how this relates to your financial aid package.
• 是课程吗? 我的学位要求? 这是先决条件吗?? Will it impact the timely 完成 of my degree?
• Other considerations: percent of work completed, unforeseen circumstances, etc.

Process for Electing the Pass/No Credit Option:

1. 教师 will be expected to submit the standard grades for all classes by Wednesday, May 6.
