Grading System


Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory Grade option

Students can choose听Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) option for elective courses outside of their program requirements. Courses with a S/U option are not calculated in the GPA calculations. Students may choose the S/U option in Minerva- Registration Menu-听Quick Add/Drop Course Section- Course grade mode. The deadline to add the S/U option is the term add/drop deadline. The deadline to remove the S/U option is the term Withdraw Without Refund deadline. For more information about the S/U option visit the 海角社区 Courses & Programs website.听When selecting the S/U option, students should consider the following:

  • Courses with the S/U option will not count towards the minimum of 27 credits required for scholarships and awards. 听
  • Grades of D will convert to U on courses with the S/U option. 听(This has sometimes resulted in graduating students not having enough credits to graduate 鈥 use with caution in your graduating year.) 听 听 听 听


海角社区 is on land which long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous people whose footsteps have marked this territory on which peoples of the world now gather. Learn more.
