Dear Simpson College Community,
We have received several inquiries related to grading procedures for this semester in light of the move to online learning. Below you will find a Q & A related to some of the questions we have received.
Simpson Grading Policies for Spring 2020
- Q. Is Simpson College considering moving to a Pass/Fail option for grading?
- Simpson College will not be moving to a Pass/Fail grading system for Spring 2020.
- How will changing to online delivery of courses impact instruction?
- While we are changing modalities of instruction from face-to-face to the online delivery of courses, it is the intent that the same learning outcomes will be achieved, thus not requiring a different approach to grading.
- Who should I contact with questions related to my GPA?
- Please continue to reach out to your individual professor and/or your academic advisor with course questions.
