[Faculty] FW: Spring 2020 Final Grade Submission Deadline Reminder

[Yusuf Ozturk]

*Esteemed Members of Engineering Faculty, *



I would like to remind you to submit your grades  before the deadline  of
May 22, 2020 at 11:00 PM. If you have already submitted your grades, I
would like to encourage you to review your grade sheets one last time.  Due
to the flexibility students were granted with grading basis changes, some
students who were originally given a CR/NC grade may now need a LETTER
grade according to the Registrar.



Best regards

Yusuf  Ozturk

Dear Associate Deans, Assistant Deans, and College Coordinators,



I hope that this email finds you all well!



As we approach a very unique end of term, I ask for your assistance in
reminding the faculty in your college of the Spring 2020 grades deadline,
as well as providing the following information related to the
student option for Credit/No Credit.



*The Spring 2020 Grade Submission Deadline is May 22, 2020 at 11:PM. This
is also the deadline to resolve any outstanding Spring 2019 Incomplete
grades.*
Grading will open at 5AM the first day of finals (Friday, May 8) and close
at 11PM on Friday, May 22. It is very important that we receive all grades
by the deadline to minimize impact to students. Late and missing grades
impact the jobs that run to calculate academic status, move students from a
pre-major to the upper-division major, verify registration contingencies,
and auto-graduate students. Please note that though the processes to place
students on academic probation or disqualification have been suspended for
spring 2020, having complete and accurate student term information remains
vital to many other processes.

*Credit/No Credit Grade Option*
Many students have exercised the option to change their grading basis from
Letter grade to Credit/No Credit. Student grading basis is displayed in
WebGrades and faculty will only be able to assign a grade that is valid for
the student's chosen gading basis (i.e. a grade of Credit cannot be awarded
for a student who has chosen Letter grade, and a letter grade cannot be
awarded for a student who has chosen Cr/NC).



For undergraduate students, a grade of Credit is awarded for work
equivalent to a course letter grade of C (2.0) or better. No Credit is
awarded for work equivalent to a course letter grade of C- (1.7) or less



For graduate students, a grade of Credit in graduate level courses is
awarded for work equivalent to a course letter grade of B (3.0) or better.
No Credit is awarded for work equivalent to a course letter grade of B-
(2.7) or less

*Other Grade Options*


You may also wish to remind faculty of the following grade options. We have
found that occasionally when faculty do not grade a student, it is because
they are unsure of the appropriate grade to assign:


- *WU (Withdrawal Unauthorized)*:  The symbol WU indicates that a student
enrolled in a course, did not withdraw from the course, but failed to
complete course requirements. It is used when, in the opinion of the
instructor, the number of completed assignments or course activities or
both were insufficient to make possible a normal evaluation of academic
performance. *For purposes of grade point average computation, this symbol
is equivalent to an F.* If the student attended a portion of a course and
then, after receiving failing grades, stopped attending without officially
withdrawing, a final grade of F not WU should be assigned. WU grades can
only be assigned to students who have selected Letter Grade as their
grading basis; a grade of NC (No Credit) should be used for students who
have selected Credit/No Credit.


- *I (Incomplete)*:  The symbol I indicates that a portion of required
coursework has not been completed and evaluated in the prescribed time
period due to unforeseen, but fully justified, reasons and that there is
still a possibility of earning credit. An incomplete can be assigned for
students who have chosen either Letter Grade or Credit/No Credit as their
grading basis. More information regarding an Incomplete grade can be found
on our website:

Thank you all for your assistance!
