How do freshman covered grades work?
• In the fall semester of your freshman year, letter grades are assigned by instructors and then covered on the transcript. • Grades of C- or above are assigned an S and given credit. Grades below C- are assigned a U. A U grade is given credit if the original letter grade was a D+ or D. • Courses with S grades satisfy major, minor, distribution, or writing requirements. • Covered grades are different from electing the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) grading.
