OSU joins other institutions across the state of Oregon in adding transcript notations for terms occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has caused students numerous stressors that may have affected their studies, including a shift to remote learning in some instances. Below we list the transcript notation and the term for which it appears. Additionally, we offer explanation for why this notation was added.
Spring 2020: “COVID-19 disruption: Remote-learning and S/U policy extension.”
During this term, OSU offered all courses via remote learning or Ecampus classes. The pivot to remote learning was disruptive for many students. The stressors from the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected learning for many students, resulting in increased withdrawals, and/or increased use of the S/U grading option. During this term, the university relaxed restrictions and deadlines for the S/U grading option. For this term only, degree requirements could be completed with “S” grades in programs where that is not normally permissible.
Summer 2020, Fall 2020, Winter 2021: “COVID-19 disruption: Remote learning.”
In these terms, OSU offered a majority of courses via remote learning of Ecampus classes. Remote learning was disruptive for many students. The stressors from the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected learning for many students, resulting in increased withdrawals, and/or increased use of the S/U grading option.
While the unofficial web transcript duplicates the notations for students who are taking courses across levels in the term, the official transcript displays these notations appropriately on each level section of the official transcript.
