The uncertainty of this unprecedented situation is a source of anxiety for many of our students and their families, and to help decrease stress and facilitate your continued academic success, the ���ϳԹ��� is adopting a significant level of flexibility in course grading for the spring 2020 semester. 

After the end of the term when grades have already been posted, all Pitt students enrolled in courses for a letter grade during the spring 2020 term may choose to convert the grading of any of their courses from a letter grade basis to a satisfactory (S)/no credit (NC) basis. S/NC is not a “pass/fail” grading system. S stands for Satisfactory.  NC stands for No Credit.  For undergraduate classes, S corresponds to a grade of C or better, and NC corresponds to a grade of C- or lower.  For graduate classes this conversion differs somewhat by school, but in many cases an S correspond to a grade of B or better, while an NC corresponds to a grade of B- or lower. 

Students are strongly encouraged to thoroughly discuss the decision with their academic advisors and mentors.
