Pass/No Pass for Good Reason

This has been one hell of a year. No shock comes from that statement, especially from students.

With the risk of COVID-19 exposure darkly looming over the heads of universities, many have decided to send their students home and move to remote-learning beginning at the spring of this year. The UC system has implemented remote learning for the rest of the year with the spikes of cases we’ve seen recently.

Eight out of the 10 universities in the UC system have given their students flexible Pass/No Pass grading. UC San Diego and UC Santa Barbara are the only two that haven’t given their students any flexibility on their grading options.
