Last Spring the Faculty Council approved a new grade mode option for graduate research credit. Beginning Fall 2021 the default grade mode for Doctoral Dissertation Research and Master's Thesis Research will be Satisfactory Progress /Unsatisfactory Progress (SP/UP).
Programs that offer a MASTER' S THESIS option may request that a Standard Letter grade (A, B, C, U) be assigned instead of SP/UP grades by contacting the Graduate School no later than October 1, 2021.
The Grade of SP/UP (Satisfactory Progress/ Unsatisfactory Progress) Option is in the 2021-22 Graduate Catalog under Degree Requirements and Academic Policies/ Grading and Related Policies. More information specific to Master’s Thesis Research can be found under Degree Requirements and Academic Policies/ Master’s Degree Requirements.
