Alternate Grading Option for the Spring/Summer Terms fails approval by the University of Winnipeg Senate

The University of Winnipeg Students’ Association is disappointed that the Alternate Grading Option for the Spring and Summer courses had failed to be approved by the University of Winnipeg Senate. We understand and recognize that UWinnipeg students are still affected by the pandemic. Without the Alternate grading in place, we want to ensure students feel supported with academic advocacy and appeals. The UWSA is here for you and will continue to advocate for students.  

For support, please email Reza Saker Hossain, the Vice-President Student Affairs, at vpsa@theuwsa.ca.
