COVID-19 Spring 2020 Petition
to Change Grade to S/U
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, students may petition Admissions and Records to change their final letter grade to a
Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory grade once the letter grade is posted through completing this petition. Only Spring 2020 classes
within the regular academic term are eligible. Because this change may cause unintended consequences such as loss of
scholarships, impacts on graduate school and professional school applications or athletic eligibility. Students must consult their
academic advisor, the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships (if applicable), and athletic advisor (if applicable) at a minimum.
Consultation with other offices also may be suggested to assist students in making an informed decision. Once a degree is
posted, all grades are final. An "S" grade will meet all enrollment and degree progression requirements regardless of original
letter grade; however, students are urged to be mindful of academic preparation needed for student academic success. Online
petitions are due by 5:00pm PST on Tuesday, May 26, 2020 in order to guarantee processing for Spring 2020 transcripts, degrees
and financial aid satisfactory academic progress.
