The McGill Senate convened for a special meeting on Dec. 15 to vote on a motion regarding implementing the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) option for the Fall 2020 and Winter 2021 semesters. The Senate voted in favour of the motion after hearing from student and faculty senators, nearly all of whom supported it.
The approval of this motion allows students to take a total of six credits over the two semesters that will be graded using the S/U option and will not count towards the total number of S/U credits that a student is allowed to take over the course of their program. Furthermore, the additional S/U credits may be applied to elective, complementary, or required courses after students receive their grades. The deadline for students to declare which courses they wish to S/U for the Fall 2020 semester is Jan. 19, 2021 and May 12, 2021 for graduating students or May 21, 2021 for non-graduating students for the Winter 2021 semester.
The Students’ Society of McGill University (SSMU) Legislative Council convened on Dec. 4 to pass several motions and discuss recent student activism that has been pressuring the administration into adopting the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) policy for Fall 2020 semester courses. The council also voted to approve a motion which will provide an explicit statement by SSMU on the society’s official stances on a range of political issues.
SSMU Music Senator Addy Parsons briefed the council on the Senate Steering Committee’s arguments against implementing the S/U policy this semester. Parsons highlighted the shortcomings of the administration’s proposed issues with reimplementing the S/U grading option policy, explaining that many students are struggling with their mental health and that this policy may ease some of the stress.
