Pass/Fail deadline extended for fall and spring semesters

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to share an update regarding the extension of the Pass/Fail deadline for undergraduate students for the fall 2020 and spring 2021 semesters.

The deadline to designate a course as Pass/Fail for the fall 2020 semester is now 11:59 p.m. on Dec. 28, 2020. The deadline to designate a course as Pass/Fail for the spring 2021 semester is now 11:59 p.m. on May 14, 2021. These extended deadlines were approved by the University Senate on Monday, Dec. 7. As a reminder, this is available only to undergraduate students.

Submitting a Pass/Fail Request:

  • Major advisor and/or program director approval is required for all Pass/Fail requests.
  • More information on submitting a Pass/Fail request, as well as a link to the Pass/Fail form, can be found here: https://registrar.uconn.edu/fall-2020-pass-fail/.
  • Undergraduate students may submit Pass/Fail requests (via the form) through Monday, Dec. 28, at 11:59 p.m.
    • This extension allows for undergraduate students to review their final grades once they have been submitted.
    • Semester grades are due to the Registrar by 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 23.
    • Undergraduate students are strongly encouraged to submit Pass/Fail requests as soon as possible after grades are received, so that approvals may be processed in a timely manner.

I want to thank the members of the Senate Scholastic Standards Committee and the Undergraduate Student Government for their extensive work to review and formulate this proposal, as well as other changes pertaining to academic standards. Further, I am also appreciative of our advising and student services offices and staff who have been incredibly flexible and creative in assessing and suggesting changes aimed at accommodating differing student needs amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sincerely,
Carl

Carl Lejuez
Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs
