Grades must be submitted no later than "72 hours after the scheduled final exam for the class" http://www.provost.umich.edu/faculty/handbook/8/8.D.html#8.D.10. If there is no exam scheduled for the class, grades are due 72 hours after the last day of the class or 72 hours after the completed work was due for the class.
In Winter 2020, the deadline was approximately two months following the term. In the 2020-21 academic year, the deadline to request a grade conversion has been extended to approximately six months following each term. Q4: How do I request to have my letter grade converted to a Pass or my NRC grade converted to a letter grade? (updated 12/9/20)
For students who receive a failing grade and were in attendance through the last class of the term, the last date of classes is the appropriate date to enter in the Last Attend Date column on the online grade sheet. If a student receives a failing grade, please enter the student’s last date of attendance in the Last Attend Date field.
Check with your school or college, as each school or college will have its own protocols for requesting changes to your grading basis. If an exception is granted and your grade is converted, updates are made to your grade and academic statistics, including grade point average.
After grade rosters are generated for a class, instructors enter and submit student grades using Wolverine Access – Faculty Business and then selecting Faculty Center. See Job Aid and Software Demonstrations for more information.
Grades of A through C– are posted on a transcript as "P" (Pass); credit toward a degree is earned. Grades of D through E are posted on a transcript as "F" (Fail); no degree credit is earned.
Covid-19 Winter 2020 grading was as follows: Faculty continued to record letter grades, but students received either a “P” (Pass) or “NRC” (No Record Covid) grade for A-E graded courses. The grade cut-off for a “P” was the same as the traditional grade minimum for students to receive course credit, which is a C-.
You make a course Pass/Fail by adding the election modifier "P/F" via Wolverine Access. You may do this any time after you have registered for the course, up until the last day of class as determined by the Registrar.
The term grade point average and the cumulative grade point average are computed for each student at the end of each term and become part of the student's official University of Michigan-Dearborn academic record. The method of grading undergraduate students is the letter grade system (A, B, C, D, E).
The grades of E, IE, UE or XE are not assigned honor points and thus will lower the student's grade point average. The grade NC is used only for certain courses....Grading Benchmarks.Benchmarks1GradeGrade PointVery PoorD1.0Extremely PoorD-0.7Inadequate AchievementFailureE0.013 more rows

If a student takes a course three times (the maximum allowed), the previous two grades will not be reflected in the GPA. Most courses can be elected only once for credit.
Many, many colleges – from Ivy Leagues like Yale to private schools like Rice and public schools like The University of California – say that Pass/Fail grades during school semesters affected by the pandemic will not have a negative impact on admissions decisions.
For B.G.S. students, a 2.0 average must be maintained in the upper-level courses required for the degree. Grades of "C+" and higher add to the GPA; grades of "C" are neutral; and grades of "C-" and lower subtract from the GPA....Computing Your Grade Point Average.Letter GradeHonor PointsA+4.0A4.0A-3.7B+3.310 more rows
With a GPA of 3.88, University of Michigan requires you to be near the top of your class, and well above average. You'll need mostly A's, ideally with several AP or IB classes to help show your preparation at a college level. If you're a junior or senior, your GPA is hard to change from this point on.

In the 2020-21 academic year, the deadline to request a grade conversion has been extended to approximately six months following each term.
You may begin to convert eligible grades when grades are posted after the end of the term. The deadlines to request grade conversions are. There may be limited and specific academic reasons where grade conversions can be requested after the deadlines, such as late grades and meeting certain degree requirements.
For each term, undergraduate enrollments will use a modified version of traditional grading in which the regular letter grading system is maintained. Faculty will record letter grades, but students who receive D+, D, D-, or E grades will receive a "No Record Covid” (NRC) grade. Students who are interested will be able to request that an NRC grade be converted to the earned letter grade. In addition, students who receive grades of A+ through C- will have the option to request a change to “Pass” (P or PS).
If you originally selected Optional Pass/Fail, you will receive either a P or PS grade for passing or an NRC grade for not passing. You can convert either grade to a letter grade.
Note that it will take a minimum of 24 hours to process a grade conversion after the request is made.
The primary difference is that passing grades will not convert automatically to a Pass grade; you may request a conversion to Pass for each course graded A+ through C-. The other difference is in the deadline to request an eligible conversion. In Winter 2020, the deadline was approximately two months following the term.
Students who receive an NRC will receive no course credit, and their grade point average will not be affected.
If there is no exam scheduled for the class, grades are due 72 hours after the last day of the class or 72 hours after the completed work was due for the class. There is no University-wide grading scale, although some units have guidelines or requirements about grading procedures.
In general, acceptable letter grades for undergraduates are: In addition to the standard A-E grades, there are several special reports you may use: NR (no report): Used if a student on the grade sheet has attended class not at all or only sporadically, thus providing insufficient basis for a grade.
It is important not to post grades by name, social security number, UM ID, or by any method in which students can be identified, because to do so violates the students’ right to privacy. If posting grades, use non-identifiable lists, such as a pre-established code name or number for each student.
Improving Multiple Choice Questions (University of North Carolina, 1990): Another overview with a more narrative approach to multiple choice question design, this paper also offers a discussion of analyzing questions for the effectiveness and gives examples of questions designed to test higher level thinking skills.
NR (no report): Used if a student on the grade sheet has attended class not at all or only sporadically, thus providing insufficient basis for a grade.
Evaluating student writing: This page provides links that describe ways to construct and react to assignments based on student written work, including creation of questions, strategies for grading, and ways to respond effectively to student writing. Also included are some resources regarding the use of learning portfolios and e-portfolios.
In Fall 2005, the University replaced paper grade rosters with an online system for grade submission on Wolverine Access (http://wolverineaccess.umich.edu/). In June 2008, Teaching Support (the previous name of the online grade submission system) was renamed Faculty Business. Complete information on using Faculty Business may be found at: https://csprod.dsc.umich.edu/htmldoc/eng/dftie/lsaa/htm/sr_fb_facultybusinessmenu.html
Covid-19 Grading System Change: Effective Fall 2021 the University will return to the traditional grading systems. The option to convert passing letter grades to a “Pass” will be discontinued, and the “No Record COVID” (NRC) grade, as outlined below for Winter 2020, will no longer be utilized.
When a student has a deficiency between 0 and 10 MHPs for either the term or cumulative GPA, the student is placed on probation. The notation “Probation” will be entered on the unofficial transcript.
When a student is on Enrollment Withheld, the student must submit a petition to the Scholastic Standing Committee (SSC, Petitions – Office of Retention & Academic Support Services) requesting reinstatement . The student must meet with his/her/their program advisor to discuss the petition (undeclared students must meet with their advisor in the Engineering Advising Center). The petition must document the reasons for the unsatisfactory performance, as well as offer sufficient and convincing evidence that another opportunity is warranted. If illness has been a factor, students must include supporting information, including a statement (with dates) from their physician. Documentation supporting other contributing factors must also be included.
Unofficial Transcript. Each student’s transcript is the cumulative record of courses elected and grades earned while enrolled at the University of Michigan. Unless withheld for infringement of rules, an individual may obtain an official copy of his/her/their transcript from the University Office of the Registrar at no charge.
Good Standing: 2.00 GPA or better for both the term and the cumulative average.
Angell Scholars are students who earn all “A+,” “A,” or “A-” grades for two or more consecutive terms based on a minimum of 14 credits earned in courses which include 12 credits earned on a graded (“A”-“E” basis elected each term); all other grades must be “P,” “S,” or “CR”. Terms of fewer than 14 credits completed with grades of “A+,” “A,” “A-,” “P,” “S,” or “CR” enable a student to maintain standing as an Angell Scholar. Any other grades earned during a full or half-term make a student ineligible for this honor. Angell Scholar Honors are posted on a student’s transcript by the University Office of the Registrar, and recipients of this honor are invited to attend the annual Honors Convocation. Angell Scholars are selected and honored annually.
Permanent dismissal from the College of Engineering is a Scholastic Standing Committee decision, with the final decision made by the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education, based upon a student’s failure to meet the conditions of reinstatement. Students are no longer eligible to enroll in or attend the College of Engineering. Students also lose the privilege of petitioning the Scholastic Standing Committee for reinstatement.
