Spring 2020 Pass/Fail Grading Merit Scholars Policy for Spring 2020

Students currently enrolled in a course under the regular grading method (A, B, C, D, or F) may request to have their final grade changed from an A, B, C, or D to a Pass (P) by submitting a request to the Registrar’s Office.

Merit scholars opting to change any Spring 2020 course grades from an A, B, C, or D to a Pass (P) will not be penalized in failure to complete the minimum enrollment requirements indicated on their official merit scholarship agreement.

However, it is imperative that scholars keep in mind that changing a course grade to (P) Pass will not positively or negatively impact their term and/or cumulative GPA.  Merit scholars' required cumulative grade point average (GPA) indicated in their merit scholarship agreement will remain as is. 

Failure to meet the minimum cumulative GPA requirements may result in a Scholarship Discontinuation at the end of the Spring 2020 semester.

In early June, the Merit Scholarship Unit will conduct their annual academic review for all current UMBC merit scholars to ensure they are maintaining their scholarship requirements. Scholar recipients are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average (which may vary depending upon their awarded scholarship) as well as maintain full-time enrollment (part-time for transfer scholars) each fall and spring semester.

Recipients failing to meet these requirements will lose their scholarship and be notified via e-mail, myUMBC Alert &  by USPS mail of their award discontinuation.

Once a scholar has been discontinued from their merit scholarship, their award will not be reinstated regardless if the student is  able to meet the terms of their scholarship in a future semester.  Students, however, will have approximately 2-3 weeks following official notification to appeal the status of their discontinuation.  If approved, scholars will be placed on Scholarship Probation and remain under review for one (1) academic semester.

The application for Spring 2019 Discontinuations goes live June 6, 2019

The deadline for all Scholarship Discontinuation Appeals is 4:00PM on Thursday, June 28, 2019 (for Spring 2019 discontinuations only).  There will be no extensions to appeal after the deadline.

Previous semester discontinuation appeals will not be accepted.
