Update regarding credit/non-credit discussion at General Faculties Council

Posted: March 30, 4:30 p.m.

Today, at General Faculties Council (GFC), discussions were held in relation to the university’s decision to move to Credit/Non-credit (CR/NC) assessment for the Winter 2020 term. 

There will be no change to this revised grading system for the Winter 2020 semester. 

We are committed to supporting clarity for students and instructors on the implementation of the CR/NC system with ongoing communications, including upcoming information on academic standing and admissions practices.

We thank the community for their engagement on this important issue.
