Beginning in Fall 2023, students in good academic standing may choose to apply satisfactory/unsatisfactory (S/U) grading to courses rather than taking a letter grade. S/U grading will not affect the student’s GPA. Students must opt-in to S/U grading until the add/drop/swap deadline. Students who choose the S/U option can revert to a letter grade before the withdrawal deadline. A student may only use the S/U option four times at UCF. Colleges and departments can restrict whether students can pursue S/U for specific classes.
