MyUW lists satisfactory/non-satisfactory as a grading option. Am I allowed to choose this?
No; although MyUW will allow you to choose the grading option of S/NS for your classes, this is not a grading option available for classes that are to be counted toward a law degree. This is not the same as CREDIT/NO CREDIT. If you are taking a class that you are not seeking to count toward graduation requirements (i.e., a language class, a music course, etc.), you may select this option. If a student chooses the S/NS for a law class, the credits will not be counted toward meeting graduation requirements.
