Colleagues

As you know, the ROSI, ACORN and Degree Explorer teams have been working to implement changes to CR/NCR enrolment options to reflect academic continuity provisions. In divisions that regularly allow their students the option of choosing CR or NCR in place of the mark earned in a course, mechanisms to waive the restrictions on the number allowed and the use of those courses to meet certain requirements have been implemented. The functionality has also been extended to divisions that have not allowed the option for their students but choose to allow it now.

Details about the functionality have already been communicated to the divisions involved. If you have questions or if your division now wishes to be included, please let us know.

Please note, because the deadlines in some divisions for students to choose the CR/NCR option have been extended, the Fall 2019 and Winter 2020 tabs in ACORN will appear for a longer period this year.

Work is continuing to extend CR/NCR functionality to divisions that use letter and symbol grades instead of percentage marks. That will be completed shortly.

Many thanks to staff in the divisions and in the EASI-SIS group involved in this project for their attention, effort and creativity.
