Options for Final Grades, Spring 2020

Faculty Members:

As part of the grade submission process, in addition to the regular final letter grades assigned based on the assessment of student work, you may:

• Assign an “I” grade in consultation with the student if the student needs more time to complete the course work, not as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. The work must be completed by the 4th week of the fall semester.
  
• Assign an “IC” grade in consultation with the student in cases where the COVID-19 crisis has interrupted the student’s work. The student must complete the work by the end of the spring 2021 semester.

The Incomplete contract will be used for both the I and IC grades.

Students:

Before the final grade is submitted, you may:

• Withdraw from the course with a “W” using the registration page for situations that do not involve the COVID-19 crisis. The deadline for most courses is April 19, 2020. You can view the deadline for your specific course(s) in MyMC by selecting “View My Class Schedule,” then “View Drop Deadlines & Booklist.”
  
• Request an involuntary withdrawal from the course due to the COVID-19 crisis, for a “WC” on your transcript. In your personal statement, explain the impact of the crisis on your ability to complete the course. Documentation may be required on a case-by-case basis.
  
• Discuss an “I” or an “IC” grade with your professor.

After grades are submitted, you may submit an academic appeal to change your final grade to

• A retroactive withdrawal (WC) grade due to the COVID-19 crisis.
  
• An audit (AU) grade.

Forms for involuntary withdrawals and academic appeals are available under Student Forms on the Records and Registration website: https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/admissions-registration/student-resources/student-forms.html#appeals-withdrawals

The deadline to submit these requests is July 1, 2020.

Students should confer with an academic advisor or financial aid advisor prior to withdrawing from classes.
