Grades of S and U do not impact the GPA. A grade of S will result in credit for the course, but it will not be used in the calculation of the GPA. A grade of U will reflect attempted credit that was not earned in the course, but it will also not affect the GPA.

You should contact your advisor before making a grading decision. In some instances, an S/U grade may impact degree program requirements and applications to graduate or professional school.

Athletes should consult with their Athletic Advisor.  Changes to athletes’ grading will have to be processed within the Registrar’s Office (these will go to Vanessa.)

Between April 10-27, you can change your request for S/U grading. Go to the myUCF portal and select Student Self Service > Student Center > Other Academic (dropdown menu) > COVID-19 S/U Option. After April 27, appeals to reverse your request for an S/U will not be allowed.

If you choose to select courses for S/U grading, grades of A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+ or C will convert to a satisfactory (S) grade.

Grades of C-, D+, D, D-, F or NC will convert to an unsatisfactory (U) grade

If your degree program requires a grade of a C or higher to advance to the next class, selecting the S/U option for the prerequisite may be inadvisable. You should contact your advisor before making a grading decision.

S, U and NC grades could help you maintain your current GPA because it won’t change it. S grades may also help you meet the earned hours requirements. However, a U or NC grade would not help you meet the earned hours requirement nor the SAP completion percentage standard.

No, the mode of class delivery is not noted on an official transcript.

Your transcripts will indicate that the S/U option was made available this semester because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
