There are a number of different ways that a course may be graded. Most courses are letter graded, A–F, while some are graded S or U (Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory). Among the few other variations that exist is an option that the student can select called G/P/NC or Graded/Pass/No Credit. This option, accessible via the SOLAR System, must be selected by the end of the 9th week of classes during the Fall or Spring semester (again consult the appropriate Academic Calendar for the exact date). It is always wisest to discuss the G/P/NC grading option with your Undergraduate College Advisor before making your final choice on SOLAR.
Many students enter college undecided about their major and many will change their major several times throughout their college career. Your first year of college is the perfect time for you to actively explore your interests in order to find the major that you truly enjoy.
Every semester, as well as Summer and Winter sessions , the University Registrar’s Office produces an Academic Calendar for the current term. This calendar contains information about many important dates and deadlines, such as the last day to add or drop a course and dates that classes are not in session. It is extremely important for you to become familiar with the calendar so that you never miss an important deadline.

Both you and your advisor have certain responsibilities that must be taken seriously for the relationship to work. Additionally, both you and your advisor will have expectations of one another.
