UToledo Announces Flexible Grade Options for Students
To help undergraduate and
graduate students at The University of Toledo who are
concerned about maintaining grades this spring semester,
several options are being offered that would allow them to
complete their courses without a letter grade or have more
time to finish this semester’s coursework.
“We understand this is a
challenging time as students have dramatically altered their
way of life in response to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said
Karen Bjorkman, PhD, provost and executive vice president
for academic affairs. “One way we can help during these
unprecedented times is to provide more flexibility as
students adjust to remote learning for the remainder of the
spring semester.”
Students will have the
following options:
* Pass/No Credit (PE/NE) Grade Option — Students can choose
to receive a pass/no credit grade for spring semester
courses rather than the regular letter grade. This option
will have no impact on their GPA.
* Incomplete (IE) Grade
Option — Students can work with their instructors to request
a unique Incomplete (IE) that the University is authorizing
for this spring term because of the extraordinary
circumstances we are in. This Incomplete also has no impact
on this semester’s GPA and gives students the ability to
complete their coursework by the end of the fall 2020
semester.
* Withdrawal Deadline
Extended — The last day to withdraw from spring classes has
been extended to May 1, 2020.
These options are being made
available to provide students additional flexibility during
this unique situation, however, students are strongly
encouraged to contact their faculty and academic advisor to
understand the impact these options could have on their
program completion, plans for future professional or
graduate programs, and/or eligibility for some licensures.
