Recognizing the impacts of the global COVID-19 situation upon students, Capilano University introduced an additional option to its grading system for the Spring 2020 term (see Spring 2020 Final Grade Options for Students & Emergency Bursary Fund for official announcement).
All students in eligible courses were provided with a choice in the final grade that they receive. Students who passed their course(s) may choose to receive:
- the final grade they earn OR
- a grade of CR (credit)
A grade of CR means the student is receiving credit for the course. A CR grade will also count towards program completion and credit totals, but will not impact a student’s GPA. The deadline for students to request a change to CR was August 31, 2020.
Similarly, failing grades for eligible courses were not counted in a student’s GPA for the Spring term. Instead, a student’s transcript for a failed course was recorded as NC (no credit).
Students do not receive credit for the course, but it does not impact their academic standing at the University.
Eligibility
Courses that ended on or after March 14, 2020 were eligible for the grading option. For a list of eligible courses, see Spring 2020 Grading Option – Eligible Courses.
Any students that completed their courses on or before March 13,2020 were subject to standard CapU grading.
