LGS Community,

 

We write to follow up on the message from the Interim Provost Leadership Team to provide a process for requesting a change of grading basis from letter grade to S/U.

 

We provide this added flexibility in recognition of the change to remote education, and your need to manage this in the context of broader efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.  

 

You can change the grading basis of one, some, or all of your courses, and you will have several weeks to make your decision. We encourage you to discuss this with your advisor, especially if you are considering this change for a required course.

 

How to make a request:

 

• You can make requests now through April 10.
• Use this form: LGS Student Request to Change Grading Basis to S/U.  
  • You will need to log in to the form using your Emory credentials.
• To help us process requests in a timely and accurate manner, follow the steps below to identify the classes that should be changed:
  • Log in to your OPUS account, click “Course Planning and Enrollment,” and then “View My Classes.” 
  • That screen will have the information you need to provide in the form: (1) course subject and number, and (2) class and section number.
  • Click here for a screenshot that details how this looks in OPUS for one course: course and subject number are in the red box (“MSCR 591”), and class and section (“5759 – Section 1”) are in the blue box.
