Under the plan, faculty will determine a grade for work submitted prior to March 7, called the COVID-19 grade.

COVID-19 letter grades of A and B may not go down more than one letter grade, while letter grades of C and D may not go down for the final grade. Grades of B, C, D and F can go up as a result of continued course work.
