Changes to Extended-X Grade Replacement Policy

In April, the Bloomington Faculty Council amended the Extended-X grade replacement policy effective Spring Term 2010. The two important changes are:

1. The elimination of the restriction that the course to be replaced must have been taken in the first 45 hours of coursework;

2. Students must now apply for the grade replacement by the Pass/Fail deadline of the second iteration of the course, moved up from the previous Automatic W withdrawal deadline.

The Bloomington Office of the Registrar web site has been updated to reflect these changes.

Again, these two changes are effective Spring Term 2010. Although the Spring 2010 calendar is not yet posted on the Registrar's web site, please note that Pass/Fail deadlines for first eight-week, second eight-week, and term classes are included in the Official Calendar published there.
