Dear Colleagues,

On April 3, 2020 the University Senate took the following decisions regarding the grading system for the spring 2020 semester, in which distance education had to be implemented due to the suspension of face-to-face education.

-It will be possible for students to receive either a letter-grade or a Pass/Fail grade in the courses that are currently letter-graded.

-Letter grades in graduate and undergraduate courses may be converted, at the request of the student, into a Pass/Fail grade. Such conversion will be allowed only once for each course.
