Midsemester Grades
 Starting Thursday, March 26 at 9:00 a.m. you will be able to view your midsemester grades by clicking the "Midsemester Grades" icon on myCurry.
For each course you will see:
S= a grade of C or above
U= a passing grade between C- and D-
F= failing grade at midterm
NG= no grade submitted/blank
N= never attended course
Midsemester grades are not "official" grades because they don't show on your transcript. They are meant to give students an idea of where they stand in their courses, and to use to have conversations with their professors about what they are doing well, and what they can improve on over the second half of the semester.
If you have a concern about your midsemester grades, you can talk with your professor, Academic Advisor, the Academic Success Coordinator, and/or consult the free tutors in the Academic Enrichment Center to work on academic strategies (time management, study skills, writing, math, etc.).
If a student decides to withdraw from a course, or take one grade/pass/fail, those deadlines are April 10, and forms can be obtained from the Registrar's Office or the Academic Advising office. All decisions regarding course withdrawals and grade/pass/fail contracts should be made in consultation with a student's academic advisor.
