• All courses will be graded as originally planned according to grading criteria established by the instructor.
• After grades are submitted at the end of the semester, undergraduates can choose, on a course-by-course basis, to request a pass/fail grade for the Spring 2020 semester.
  • The following pass/fail scale will be used: Earned grades of A, B+, B, C+, and C will be replaced with S+, earned grades of D+ and D will be replaced with S, and an earned grade of F or FN will be replaced with U.
• If you select the S+/S/U grading scale for a course, points will not be factored into the GPA. Courses with S+ and S will count towards earned semester hours.
• Courses graded with the S+/S/U scale will count as appropriate towards applicable curricular, major, continuation, and graduation requirements. For example, if a course requires a C or better in a prerequisite, students selecting this alternative grading scale would need an S+ in the prerequisite course.

• Those courses with an S+/S grade will count as attempted and earned hours, and those with a U grade will only count as attempted hours. However, a Pass/Fail grade will not impact the student's USC GPA. Lottery Tuition Assistance eligibility is maintained with an overall USC GPA of 2.0.

As with most communicable diseases, common hygiene practices are the best way to mitigate the spread of germs.

• Cover mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough
• Wash hands often for 20 seconds
• Clean shared surfaces and equipment often
• Avoid touching eye, nose and mouth
• Stay home if sick and call your doctor if needed

Students who are sick should stay home.  Monitor yourself for the following symptoms:

• Cough
• Shortness of Breath
• Sore Throat
• Muscle Aches
• Headache
• Chills/Shaking
• Lost Sense of Smell/Taste
• Fever greater than 100.0°F

Students who have symptoms of respiratory illness  should stay home and not come to campus until they are well.

The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) recommends that students who have been ill not come to class until 7 days have passed since their symptoms began AND they are free of fever (100.4°F [37.8°C] or less using an oral thermometer) or signs of fever for 3 days without the use of fever-reducing medicines and their other symptoms have improved.

If you are sick and miss class, please be sure to contact your professor immediately.
