Dear Undergraduate Student,

I write with another reminder to make your final decision regarding the grading option for one or more of your classes this semester.

The deadline to select the CR/GC/NC or traditional (A-F) grading options for one or more of your classes this semester is 11:59 p.m. EDT on Friday, April 30. Please confirm and make any grading option changes in SIS as there will be no opportunity to change your grading option after the deadline.

I’ve included more information about CR/GC/NC for undergraduate classes below. If you are taking a graduate class (5000 level or higher), please review information for how each graduate school has defined CR/GC/NC.

We know this decision might be difficult, so we have created a resource to help you decide which grading option resource to help you and your advisors decide which grading option is best for you in each of your classes. If you are considering a career in medicine or law, I encourage you to discuss your choice with pre-professional advisors in the UVA Career Center.

Remember to confirm and make any necessary grading option changes in SIS before 11:59 p.m. EDT on Friday, April 30.

For steps on how to change and review the current grading options for your class in SIS, please click the link below. Be sure to follow steps 8-10 to confirm your choices are correctly recorded in SIS before the deadline. 
 


If you have questions or concerns, you may reach me at [email protected].
Kind regards,

Laura F. Hawthorne
Associate Vice Provost and University Registrar
