Special COVID-19 Flexible Grading Policy for the Fall 2020 Semester


As part of The City University of New York’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, during the Fall 2020 semester, all students shall have the option to convert any or all of the (A-F) letter grades they earn in their classes, to Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) grading.

1. During the Fall 2020 semester, all students shall have the option to convert most of the letter grades, including plus or minus variations, they earn in their classes, to Credit/No Credit grading. This policy applies to all Hunter College students who are enrolled in credit-bearing courses for the Fall 2020 semester, including undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral courses, with the exception of those courses listed that have been designated to be excluded from opt-in as indicated on the Excluded Courses List. *

2. Students shall be able to make this decision up to 20 calendar days after the University’s final grade submission deadline. Once selected, the Credit/No Credit option cannot be cannot be reversed.

3. If a student chooses to exercise this option, a passing letter grade (A, B, C, or D including +/-) will convert to ‘CR’ with credit for the class being awarded, while a failing grade (F) will convert to ‘NC’, with no credit awarded. Credit/No Credit grades will not impact the student’s GPA.

4. Courses taken for a letter grade will continue to be included in the semester and general GPA, while courses taken for a Credit/Non-credit grade will be excluded, just as is the case with such courses taken at a student’s home institution.

5. If a student exercises the option of Credit/No Credit, the Credit (CR) grade will not negatively impact the student’s satisfactory progress toward degree completion.

6. Students with Credit/No Credit grades will be able to transfer those courses across colleges within CUNY, per current CUNY policy.

7. The Special COVID-19 Flexible Grading Policy shall apply to coursework completed on Permit and will not affect Board of Trustees Policy 1.14 – Policy on Coursework Completed on Permit.

8. Students placed on academic probation by their institution at the start of the Fall 2020 semester shall not be penalized with academic dismissal based upon their grades earned this semester.

9. The Special COVID-19 Flexible Grading Policy shall not affect the University standards of student retention and progress in accordance with Board of Trustees Policy 1.26.

10. Before choosing this grading option for one or more of their classes, students shall consult with their academic and financial aid advisors regarding potential impact to their financial aid, licensure requirements, and graduate school admissions.

11. The Special COVID-19 Flexible Grading Policy shall supersede and override all undergraduate and graduate program-level grading policies currently in effect at CUNY colleges and schools, including those related to required and elective courses within the major, minor, general education (Pathways), pre-requisite courses, honors courses, courses taken on permit and maximum number of credits that a student can earn with Credit/No Credit grades.

12. The grade glossary, attached to each transcript, will be updated to include a notation denoting that all Fall 2020 grades, including CR or NC, were earned during a major disruption to instruction as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

13. The Special COVID-19 Flexible Grading Policy shall apply to all CUNY colleges and schools, except the School of Law and the School of Medicine, which may develop their own Pass/Fail policies, subject to approval of the Board of Trustees, to conform to norms in legal and medical education.

14. The Special COVID-19 Flexible Grading Policy, which shall be effective April 1, 2020, applies to the Fall 2020 semester only and that the Chancellor, may, in his discretion, to meet public health emergency policies and practices, extend this policy to future semesters, if necessary and report such extension to the Board of Trustees immediately.

15. The Special COVID-19 Flexible Grading Policy shall be codified in the Manual of General Policy as Policy 1.4. and cannot be overwritten by any individual units of the University, including presidents, provosts, or college councils. The policy will remain in effect for the Fall 2020 semester and will be reviewed by the Chancellor and extended as necessary to meet public health emergency policies and practices.

16.   The policy will remain in effect for the Fall 2020 semester and will be reviewed by the Chancellor and extended as necessary to meet public health emergency policies and practices.
