Spring & Fall 2009 UG Grade Comparison Summary • “C” or better: • 75% of late start grades were “C” or better • 65% of all undergraduate classes were “C” or better • “A” grades • 46% of late start = A+, A, A- • 31% of all undergraduate classes = A+, A, A- • “F” Grades • 7.37% of late start • 5.11% of all undergraduate classes

  12. Further Analysis? • What is the percentage of students who register for Late Start “originally” compared to the percentage who add after dropping a full semester class? • Do Late Start classes tend to close leaving the “dropping” student without the alternative? • What is long term impact on classroom scheduling? • What about the financial “disincentive” to make a drop/add change since currently a student would lose a certain percent of original fees and be charged for added class?
