Policy update

The grading & transcripts policy is under comprehensive review and we are gathering feedback from multiple groups as well as presenting to the faculty Senate Committee on Educational Policy (SCEP). While the changes will be mostly cosmetic, one substantive change is being considered: whether incompletes should lapse earlier. In the current policy, incompletes lapse after one year, but this can negatively impact degree progress. The current proposal is to lapse incompletes after 15 weeks, but the discussions are continuing. Please email tidball@umn.edu with your feedback.

The policy that email is the official means of student communication is also due for review. We do not anticipate any substantive changes at this time but are interested in your feedback. Please email tidball@umn.edu or attend RAC meetings to discuss this policy and others.

SCEP and the Policy Advisory Committee have approved changes to the makeup work policy (see unpublished draft). After review by the President’s Policy Committee, the policy will be posted for a 30-day review and comment period.
