List every course in which you are currently enrolled this Spring 2020 semester for which you wish to
switch from letter grade to S/U option:
Section Number
(e.g. -01 or 02)
Instructor (last name)
By signing this form, I acknowledge the following statements:
• A grade of “S” is considered passing and is the equivalent to a grade of “C” or better.
• This temporary policy change does not alter existing grade requirements for my program. For
example, if a C or better is required in a specific class, an S grade will not suffice. Refer to the
College Catalog for clarification on course grade requirements for specific programs and courses.
• Grades of “S” fulfill requirements and add to overall credits completed, but carry no grade value
and will not affect my GPA.
• I understand that if I am repeating a course, I must keep the original grading plan. If the original
course was taken on a letter-grading plan, I may NOT opt for S/U grading.
• Some employers, accreditors, doctoral programs may frown upon S/U grades since it is unclear
what level of mastery the student achieved in the course.
