VIRTUAL COUNSELING

Effective Wednesday, March 18, 2020, through Friday, September 11, 2020, the undergraduate counselors will be working remotely, in light of the COVID-19 situation. The EEB Undergraduate Office will be closed during this period.

Counseling services are still available, but you must make a scheduled appointment via Calendly. All appointments will be in 20-minute increments. Appointments will be conducted either via telephone or Zoom.

Undergraduate counselors will be available online during the following hours:

Monday-Friday:
9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. & 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

• College Petitions
• Departmental Evaluations
• Course substitutions (major and minor, field quarter or alternates)

PASS/NO PASS GRADING OPTION FOR SPRING 2020 ONLY

• Students have the option to take EEB courses (e.g. EEB 100) for a letter grade or Pass/No Pass. This grading option, Student Option (SO), has been updated in the system. Students are able to change their grading option up to Week 10; no petition required.
• The EEB Department has approved for Spring 2020 only to allow students to complete requirements for the major (lower and upper division) with a “Pass” grade.
• If you are considering changing the grading basis for your courses toward major requirements from the Letter Grade to Pass/No Pass option, it is important to take the following points into consideration:
  • All preparation for the major courses must be completed with a grade of C- or better and GPA of 2.0 or better.
  • A grade of “Pass” has no effect on the GPA, but can fulfill requirements.
  • A grade of “No Pass” (NP) is based on receiving a cumulative grade in a course equivalent to a C- or below, but it does not fulfill requirements. Thus, if you earned a NP grade, but would have received a C-/D+/D/D if taken for a letter grade, the C- would have fulfilled prep requirements and all grades would have fulfilled major requirements, but the NP grade would not.
