According to an email sent to students by Acting Provost Susan Collins, all undergraduate courses at the University of Michigan will transition to an alternative grading policy.
The policy, announced this Friday, says that students will now receive a âPassâ or âNo Record Covidâ on their transcript, as opposed to a letter grade. Students will have the option to âunmaskâ their letter grade in order for the traditional letter to be put onto their transcripts and impact their GPA.
