Grading Dates for Spring Semester 2020 & Student CR/NC Decisions

Date/Time sent: 04/20/2020 7:42 am

Aloha mai!

In light of the fact that UHWOs Spring Semester ends a week earlier (last day of classes May 1, finals May 4-8) than the other 9 UH campuses (last day of classes May 7, finals May 11-15) our DUE date for grades and deadline for student CR/NC decisions is not the same as the other campuses. As such, to meet our Federal Financial Aid requirements and posting of grades to the National Student Clearinghouse deadlines we do need to stick closely to our original due date calendar. At the same time, given the shifts in teaching platforms we understand that some instructional faculty require additional time to collect student work and complete grades. Please note that I anticipate that instructors have made adjustments and that academic advisers are currently communicating with students about their semester grades so that the deadlines are met.

Hence the DEADLINES for Spring Semester 2020 Grades and student decision regarding CR/NC are as follows:

  • Tuesday, May 12, 4:00PM Faculty Grades Due
  • Thursday, May 14, 4:00PM UHWO student DEADLINE to choose to retain their letter grades or convert their letter grades to the CR/NC designation for one or more classes

After 4pm, Thursday, May 14, when students have made their choice, Banner will begin processing, and then greenlight our UHWO registrar to make the grades final and include a notation indicating this is a “semester disrupted by COVID-19” on the transcript.

In addition, ALL Students should be aware of these dates/opportunities:

  • Students are urged to apply to the Urgent Student Relief Fund if this will them stay in school. https://www.uhfoundation.org/give/giving-opportunity/covid-19
  • Last day to withdraw with a “W” is Thursday, April 30th.
  • Students should meet with their advisors NOW to discuss the CR/NC option for their courses.
  • Ability to check their grades at 4:05 pm on May 12 (or earlier if faculty submit earlier).

E malama pono!
