Sacramento State students will be able to change their grade basis for spring 2021 starting April 5 and the option will be available until May 14, according to a SacSend email from University Registrar Danielle Ambrose on Thursday.
Students will have two grading options for this semester: the traditional Sac State grading policy or a Letter Grade/No Credit grading policy.
The Letter Grade/No Credit option will be applied differently to undergraduate and graduate courses and was defined by Ambrose in the email.
ABC/No Credit (For undergraduate level courses)
-
An (A, A-),( B+, B, B-), (C+, C, C-) grade will count toward GPA,
a No Credit (NC) for the course will not count toward GPA.
AB/No Credit (For graduate level courses)
-
An (A, A-), (B+, B, B-) grade will count toward GPA,
a No Credit (NC) will not count toward GPA.
If students choose not to change their grade basis to a Letter Grade/No Credit option, they will be graded by the traditional grading policy followed by most classes according to Ambrose.

Doesn’t the school take any responsibility for the poor grades of students who did not have virtual classes and instead were given a list of books to read. Those students who knew that virtual classes were the only way to go, were not given a choice, and were unable to know which classes were going to be taught virtually before they registered. As someone with both a Bachelor’s Degree and a Master of Arts Degree,
I am appalled.
