Spring 2021 Grading Policies and Deadlines
Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) grade option:
- Similar to the spring/fall 2020 semesters, the S/U grading scale will include a “CR”(credit) grade. Therefore, students will receive the grade of “CR” (credit) if they have selected the S/U grade mode for a course and receive a C-, D+, or D for their coursework. Note: Prior to the pandemic, these grades would have resulted in a grade of “U” and earn no credit.
- The rest of the S/U policy will return back to what it was prior to the pandemic,
specifically:
- A student may take no more than one course in a semester for an S/U grade, excluding courses that are offered S/U only.
- A student may take a maximum of 16 semester hours for an S/U grade, excluding internships. Note: Fall 2020/Spring 2021 courses will count toward this limit. Spring 2020 will not be counted.
- The S/U option is offered at the discretion of the department or the instructor of the course. Note: Students can no longer choose the S/CR/U option if the course is not offered that way, as they were allowed to during the spring 2020 term.
- The deadline to change a grade option (letter, S/CR/U) will be March 18. Requests for changes after this date will not be permitted. Note: This is an extended deadline, normally it is the same day as the drop deadline.
- You can view the rest of the add/drop deadlines here
Withdrawal without grade penalty (W):
- A withdrawal without grade penalty policy, as posted in the college catalog, is in
effect for spring 2021, specifically:
- A student is limited to a maximum of two withdrawals (W) while completing the baccalaureate degree. Note: Fall 2020/Spring 2021 W’s will count toward this limit. Spring 2020 will not be counted.
- Students must submit the withdrawal without penalty application by the deadline published on the academic calendar (April 15).
Drop/Add Deadlines:
- The last day to add a class without instructor approval will be Feb 9 and the last day to drop a class will be Feb 16. These dates and more details can be found on the spring add/drop calendar.
Course Information
Instructional Methods are as follows and will be a searchable item on the Master Schedule, viewable in the class details of each course. Online courses will also have a classroom building code of “ONLINE”:
- In-person
- Online
- Hybrid: Mix of In-person/Online (the course will be taught using a blend of in-person instruction and online learning activities; students who can only attend remotely should NOT register for this course)
- Hyflex: In-person or Online (the course will accommodate students attending in person and students participating remotely)

Please note: Students who plan to be remote learners (not on campus or within driving distance) should only register for courses with an instructional method of “Online” or “Hyflex: In-person or Online”.
The Registrar’s Office, Office of Academic Advising, Faculty Advisors, and Department Chairs and Program Directors are available to help students navigate these changes.
