Deadline to apply to convert a grade to SAT = May 29

Friday, May 29 is the deadline to apply to convert a winter term grade to SAT. If you have a winter term grade in the D range, you may want to consider this option. Keep in mind that admissions still needs at least 2.0 credits with letter grades in order to consider you for admission. We recommend talking to an advisor before applying to make the change.

Note: Grades of F will be automatically converted to an UNSAT grade that does not negatively affect your GPA. No application is required for this.
