GRADUATING STUDENTS

If you are a graduating student in Spring 2021 you can elect to change the grade basis on your Spring 2021 courses within your Student Center through May 14, 2021 only. Changes to your record are not permitted once your degree has been awarded.

Most students will be eligible to make this change; however, depending on your academic status (i.e. international, graduate, etc.) specific terms may apply. If for this reason or any other, you aren’t sure whether to pursue alternative grading, it’s a good idea to talk with an advisor.
