The following grading system is designed to provide the greatest possible flexibility in planning academic programs. The instructor shall announce the grading procedures for the course at the first meeting of the semester. This announcement should include the specification of an S/U or letter grade system.
Students who wish to be graded on a basis different from the one announced by the instructor must submit a written request to the instructor by the fourth week of class. The instructor’s decision will be final and will be transmitted to the student in writing.
