You should have received the email below in your CSULA email account. If not, here's a quick summary for the parts relevant to this class:

• CS3220 is already ABC/NC grading (i.e. anything below C is No Credit). You may choose to use Credit/No Credit grading instead by May 9.
• The withdraw deadline is also extended to May 9.

Dear University Community:

Cal State LA is committed to lessening the impact of COVID-19 on our students. The Academic Senate has been working on ways to give students more flexibility as they approach the completion of spring semester and continue to make progress toward their degrees. To this end, we have made the following emergency grading options available to students this spring:

Undergraduate Student Grading Options for Spring 2020

Instead of traditional letter grading, undergraduate students may elect to be graded on an ABC-/NC basis, or on a Credit/No Credit basis, for any of their courses. These non-traditional grading options may apply to general education courses, courses in the major, or elective courses. Students will be able to select one of these options until May 9. 

For all undergraduates who do not select non-traditional grading, any “F” grade will be changed to a grade of No Credit and will not be calculated into the GPA. No action is required; this will happen automatically.

Graduate Student Grading Options for Spring 2020

Graduate students may elect to take any of their courses on a Credit/No Credit basis instead of traditional letter grading. Grades of “B” or above will count for Credit; grades of “B-” or lower will count as No Credit. Students will be able to select this option until May 9.

Withdrawals for All Students

All students have until May 9 at midnight to withdraw from any or all of their courses. This extended deadline applies to all students, including undergraduate students, graduate students, and credential students. (There will be no emergency withdrawal period, which had been scheduled to begin April 24. Instead, students will be able to drop any course with instructor and department approval until May 9.) No additional documentation will be required aside from the electronically signed Withdrawal Petition.

More information about how to select these options will be available by Tuesday, April 14, and will be posted on the registrar’s webpage. 

We strongly advise students who are considering any of these options to consult with their academic advisor first. It may be best for most students to keep the traditional letter grade, especially since all “F” grades will be automatically converted to a No Credit grade. Students in many programs, including those that lead to credentials, licensures, and graduate degrees, may be best served by traditional grading.

Sincerely,

(This is a University-wide email. Please do not reply.)
