Overview:
SD (Satisfactory-Disruption) and UD (University Disruption-No Credit) grading is a special grading option for students in response to the COVID-19 events.For more information about the SD/UD grading option and frequently asked questions, see Disruption Grading.
If you are uncertain about whether the SD/UD option is right for you, please reach out to your academic advisor.
Important notes:
- The window to elect the Spring 2021 COVID-19 grading option will begin on May 8th 2021 and conclude on May 21st 2021 at 11:59PM.
- The window to elect the Spring 2020 COVID-19 grading option was from May 9th 2020 to May 22nd 2020 at 11:59PM.
- Grades can only be converted after the course grades have been posted in the Student Center.
- Final grades are posted in the Student Center, not in Canvas.
- Courses not graded A-F cannot be converted.
- Law, MD and DPT students cannot convert to SD/UD grades.
- Please consider the choice to convert to SD/UD grades as you will not be able to convert them back to letter grades on your own.
