Temporary COVID-19 Course Policies
Credit/No Credit Information
There will be a second window to request CR/NC grades for the Winter 2020 semester between May 1st-15th after Winter 2020 grades have been posted. Students who initially asked for CR/NC in March 2020 and wish to change back to a letter grade should contact their professor regarding a grade change. Please visit the May 1-15, 2020 CR/NC Information Website for the most current information regarding CR/NC requests. Updated April 22, 2020
It's important to note that a grade of “CR” means that a C or better was earned in a class. A grade of C- or lower will result in NC (no credit given for the course).
Withdrawing from Classes
The 'W' deadline has been extended to Monday, April 6, 2020 (from the original March 6).

If students experience difficulty dropping in Banner, they can email or call the Registrar's Office, [email protected], (616) 331-3327 to start the process. Students are strongly encouraged to connect with an advisor and Financial Aid before dropping any of their classes.
