Thank you to those who have been in touch with questions about the current P/D/F rules and deadlines for seniors: particularly about what it means to "revoke" a P/D/F election by May 10 and how this differs from "uncovering," which only continuing students can do.
Detailed information about all the rules and deadlines can be found on the Spring 2024 Academic Policies and Procedures website.
Read on for some clarification of the terminology and deadlines:
May 3 is the deadline to elect the Pass/D/Fail option. This means changing your grading status from letter graded to P/D/F, where grades of C- or better will show as P and not factor into your GPA, while grades of D or F will appear and function as they normally do. See the policies/procedures website for full details about what you may and may not take p/d/f.
May 10 is the deadline to revoke a previously elected P/D/F. This means undoing/rescinding/canceling your original P/D/F request, and reverting to regular letter grading. This is different from "uncovering" (which is explained below and is not available for graduating students) in that you may or may not know your final grade when making this decision.
If your final grade has been entered at this point, you should be able to view it in SSOL, allowing you to make this decision with all relevant information.
If your final grade has not been entered by this point, you'll need to make this decision based on your best guess and how you feel about the work you have submitted.
If you choose to revoke by the special May 10 deadline, please note that this is done using a Slate form, not in SSOL.
Graduating seniors are still not permitted to uncover grades of P elected in the final semester. For continuing students, "uncovering" takes place after the semester is over and all grades are posted -- continuing may then review the secret grade that is "covered" by a grade of P, and if they like this grade, they may "uncover" it no later than the registration deadline at the start of the following semester.
