Additional Spring Grade Change Opportunity, May 13, 2020


Sent on behalf of Dr. Lynn Akey, Vice President for Student Success, Analytics and Integrated Planning

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, you were previously given the opportunity to change your grading method for Spring term courses that were not completed prior to March 16, 2020.

You now have another opportunity to request this change. You may request a change from Letter Grade (A-F) to Pass/No Credit OR from Pass/No Credit to Letter Grade (A-F) between May 15 and June 15, 2020. Because this change can impact your academic standing, it is important that you request this change as soon as possible. If you previously requested a Pass/No Credit grading method and wish to learn the actual letter grade your faculty member would have assigned, please review D2L or contact your instructor. If you are unable to obtain your grade using one of these methods, please contact the Registrar’s Office on Maverick OneStop: https://onestop.mnsu.edu/app/registrar. Your alternative grade will be sent to your Minnesota State Mankato email account. 

To request a change in grading method, please complete the eForm here: Grading Method Change Form

Additionally, the CARES Act recently changed the requirements for calculating student Satisfactory Academic Progress for Spring 2020. Grades of W (if earned after March 12, 2020), I or IP will be removed from the calculation of attempted credits in determining Satisfactory Academic Progress for the Spring term. If you were advised to remain in a class rather than withdraw from it, or have questions about how you may be impacted by Satisfactory Academic Progress for Spring 2020, please contact your academic advisor for additional information.

General questions about Pass/No Credit grade changes, Satisfactory Academic Progress or other academic concerns may be sent to provost@mnsu.edu.
