Dear Graduate Students, Hope your semesters wrapped up relatively smoothly and everyone is enjoying some much-needed rest and relaxation! I'm writing to alert you to a recent change in CUNY's grading policy, in case you hadn't already heard. CUNY and QC have announced a flexible grading policy for Fall 2020 that allows students to convert their letter grades to Credit or No Credit (CR/NC) between *Dec. 24 and Jan. 12*. For English MA students, this means, after grades are posted, you can convert any grade you receive between a B+ and C- to a grade of Credit (CR), and it will not impact your GPA. (The only course that you cannot choose the CR/NC option for is ENGL 791.) For more info, please visit https://provost.qc.cuny.edu/flexible-grading-policy. As always, please feel free to email both me and Hillary if you have any questions or need advising. Starting tomorrow, we will be on break and off email through the holidays, but one of us will be sure to respond early in the new year. Till then, Happy Holidays and wishing you all a restorative winter break! Best, Caroline -- Caroline Kyungah Hong Associate Professor of English Director of Graduate Studies (English MA) Queens College, CUNY *she/her/hers* * Please note that I am off email on weekends and will respond to your email during business hours, Monday–Friday 8am–5pm. At this time, there may be a delay in response time.
