In an effort to provide flexibility due to campus closures and changes in course delivery modes related to COVID-19 measures, all NSHE institutions will make the \u201cS\/U\u201d grading option available to students through the end of the Spring 2020 semester and after issuance of final grades for all courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Institutions are setting deadlines for student grade petitions and will advertise the deadlines widely so that students are aware of the option to change grades to S\/U. As part of this process, students will be advised of the ramifications of petitioning for a change to \u201cS\/U\u201d grading before submitting such a request. During an emergency meeting on Tuesday, the Board approved technical changes related to S\/U grades such that institutions can determine the grade equivalency for S\/U grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis adjustment was needed to streamline grading for students and professors who are conducting remote instruction during this tumultuous and unprecedented time,\u201d said Chancellor Thom Reilly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Satisfactory and Unsatisfactory grades should be administered with prudence and in full consideration and consultation by the student with their academic advisor, as switching to \u201cS\/U\u201d grading could impact scholarship eligibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis adjustment during this turbulent time will allow flexibility for our students and professors while keeping them focused on our number one priority, student success,\u201d Regents Chair Jason Geddes said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1100,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[34,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1338","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-34","category-press-release"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/1338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1338"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1100"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
