Reminder: MCC Offers Optional Grading for Spring 2020 Semester
This week, MCC students will receive an email including a link to their
Spring 2020 Semester grades. Now through August 1, 2020, students have the
option to choose between receiving a traditional letter grade or receiving a
designation of Satisfactory/Pass/Unsatisfactory (S/P/U) for some or all of
their grades. Students who prefer to use traditional letter grades for all
their classes do not have to respond to the survey.
MCC will permanently keep earned letter grades (A through F); however,
students will have the option of requesting that a S/P/U grade be displayed in
the transcript, as follows:
- Substitute an "S" for earned grades A to C indicating a student's progress
was Satisfactory for the course requirements
- Substitute a "P" for earned grades C- to D- indicating a student Passed the
course
- Substitute a "U" for an earned grade of F indicating a student's progress
was Unsatisfactory for the course
While both "S" and "P" signify earned course credit and are excluded from
GPA calculation, "S" grades are more likely to be eligible for transfer to
another institution (pending acceptance by the transfer institution). "U"
grades indicate that a student was unsuccessful in the course; no credit would
be awarded, and this grade is excluded from GPA calculation.
Students may request that their original letter grades be reinstated at any
point until their graduation date. No changes to the grades as posted on the
transcript may be requested after graduation.
Questions should be directed to Spring2020Grades@monroecc.edu.
