COVID-19 Summer 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. 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 Monday, August 17, 2020 for priority processing. The form
will only be processed once all grades for the classes listed are posted.
