Some thoughts on letter grades and related topics....

Please read....from the Associate Dean of BSOS

Dear BSOS Terps,

We hope these first few days of online learning have gone smoothly for you. Please continue to check keepconnected.umd.edu for updates. If you missed Dean Ball's message to BSOS students this past weekend, you can find it here

You have until May 12, to request a letter grade in a class. Please do not make any decisions yet. So far, I am not seeing compelling evidence that letter grades will matter to most graduate programs or employers. They understand that your semester was derailed and moved online unexpectedly. I will share more specific advice in the coming weeks.

Tomorrow, April 1, is National Census Day. College students should be counted!

Stay well and stay home!
With kind regards,
-Dr. Katherine Russell and the BSOS Team
