Hihi,
First of all I’d like to give a big thanks for all the help you give our little community. We’d be so lost without you. You da bomb, aska! <33
I had a query about everyone’s favourite labour dispute. Do you have any idea of when, exactly, we’ll be able to designate credit/no-credit to specific courses at the end of term? I saw your response to a relevant question saying that a webpage would be released allowing us to do so, but I wasn’t sure what the solid dates were as to when this webpage would come up and how soon that would be from when final grades are posted. Early May?
If I understand it correctly, whatever courses we have designated as CR/NCR will be reversed/turned back to normal by the university, so the final grades will have the usual effect on our CGPA. But since we will have the option to CR/NCR even after the final grades are posted, when will CGPA be calculated? I hope it’s only AFTER we’ve decided whether or not to credit/no-credit, and not before!
Thanks!!

hey there,
ding dong, the strike is over. and that means that everything is back to normal – except not really.
the CR/NCR rule still stands, for anyone who’s wondering. you still have until may 20th to designate something credit/no-credit or to reverse a credit/no-credit designation for any S or Y course – program requirement or no, affected by the strike or not. there is a website in the works where students would be able to do all that themselves, but it just hasn’t been released yet.
i don’t know exactly when the website will be up, but it’ll definitely be sooner than may. the FAQ hinted that the link would be released in the March 30th update (“Details on the process will be posted on this page shortly and an email will be sent to Arts & Science students the evening of March 30 with further instructions“). since they weren’t released in that update, i’m guessing they’re a little bit behind, but it’s highly unlikely they’re behind by a month.
and yes, CGPA will be calculated after that may 20th deadline. things will be pushed back a little because of that, but hey, it could’ve been a lot worse.
and hey, thanks for the nice words. you’re also the bomb.com.org.
cheers,
aska
