Pass/Fail Transfer Credit from Spring 2020 Semester

Good morning, Everyone!

We just received the official announcement from Academic Affairs with the details of awarding credit and transferring in coursework that has been switched to Pass/Fail grading this semester. This is for all of our undergraduate colleges:

When evaluating external credit for transfer to UVA, UVA will use the following criteria for courses taken during Spring 2020. These criteria will be used to evaluate courses normally accepted for credit at UVA:

Pass/Fail, CR/NC, S/U Grading Options Implemented Expressly for Spring 2020 in Response to COVID-19 Pandemic:

If the institution's Spring 2020 COVID-19 grading policy is limited to two grades (e.g., Pass/Fail, CR/NC, etc):

·        Courses receiving P/CR will be accepted for full credit.

·        Courses normally considered equivalent to a UVA course that receive a P/CR will meet all prerequisite and degree requirements normally met by that equivalency.

If the institution's Spring 2020 COVID-19 grading policy includes an additional grade to distinguish passing grades below C (e.g., P+/P-/W):

·        Courses receiving the lower passing grade will be accepted as generic transfer credit but will not fulfill prerequisites or degree requirements beyond total number of credits required for a degree.

·        Courses receiving the lower passing grade will be assigned a generic course identifier (e.g., BIOL 1000T).

Standard Grades Earned During Spring 2020

Grades Higher Than C:

·        Courses will be accepted for full credit.

·        Courses normally considered equivalent to a UVA course will meet all prerequisite and degree requirements normally met by that equivalency.

Grades C- through D-:

·        Courses will be accepted as generic transfer credit but will not fulfill prerequisites or degree requirements beyond total number of credits required for a degree.

·        Courses will be assigned a generic course identifier (e.g., BIOL 1000T).
