Deadline to Submit Summer 2021 P/NC Form: Monday, August 23, 2021 at 11:59pm (EDT)
Dear RU-N Students:
Rutgers University-Newark is allowing you to choose a Pass/No-credit grade on your transcript instead of a letter grade (A-F) for any RU-N course that you are taking course in Summer 2021. For Rutgers University-Newark, the P/NC grade option will be available to undergraduates and most graduate students. 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. Visiting students should contact their home campus if they have any questions about academic progress or financial aid.
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 Summer 2021 beginning Thursday, June 17, 2021, at 8:30am and ending on Monday, August 23, 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,
