Deadline to Submit Spring 2021 P/NC Form: May 19, 2021 at 11:59pm (EDT)
Dear RU-N Students:
We are looking forward to the beginning of the Spring 2021 semester with the light and hope of a new year. As we begin Spring 2021, we are reaching out with some important information. Rutgers University-Newark students can choose a Pass/No-credit (P/NC) grade on your transcript instead of receiving a letter grade (A-F) for any RU-N courses taken during Spring 2021. For Rutgers University-Newark, the P/NC grade option will be available to undergraduates and most graduate students. Unfortunately, this policy does not apply to Law School students for a variety of reasons—please consult with the Law School for more details.
In order to help students maintain financial aid and academic progress without disruption, it is essential that students consult with your academic advisor and the Office of Financial Aid-Newark as you consider this option. Also, a Pass/No-Credit (P/NC) grade may impact how your transcript is viewed by employers and other universities (e.g., if you apply for graduate school. Furthermore, should you choose a Pass/No-Credit option, a note will appear on your transcript to indicate the circumstances of the COVID-19 outbreak. You can make an appointment with your academic advisor through the RUN4Success platform.
Keep in mind that you do not need to discuss this issue of converting grades with your instructor. The instructor will assign A-F grades as outlined on the syllabus for the course. If you do make the request for conversion, the Registrar’s office will implement the request. If it is a course grade of C or better you will receive a Pass (P) grade. If the course grade is C-, D or F, you will receive a No-Credit (NC) grade.
To access the Pass/No Credit (P/NC) widget, log into myRutgers portal and click on the “dashboard” tab. On the “dashboard” tab, click on the link to access the P/NC widget. The P/NC widget will be available for students enrolled in Spring beginning May 6, 2021 and ending on May 19, 2021 at 11:59pm (EDT).
Thanks again to you, our dear students, and our wonderful faculty and staff, as we together continue to pursue our academic mission during these difficult times.
Sincerely,
Ashwani Monga
