Registrar's Office COVID-19 Summer Online Information & FAQ's

While all classes for Summer 2020 have shifted to an online format, there are two categories of classes:

The university is working as quickly as possible to update the information available in the Summer 2020 Class Schedule to reflect whether each specific course will be offered as IVC or online.

To accommodate these extraordinary circumstances, reduce stress and uncertainty, and support students who may find themselves in difficult personal circumstances, the U is also continuing the opt-in credit/no credit (CR/NC) policy adopted for the spring 2020 semester and extending the date for final decisions. Please view the Academic Calendar for the new dates

All courses taken CR/NC during the summer will count toward majors and other college or department graduation requirements. Additionally, any CR/NC course from this semester will not count against the current limits on the number of credit/no-credit courses students can take (see University Regulation 6-100A). Students should consult with faculty, academic advisors, and Financial Aid to determine the advisability of choosing this option. 

If you have forgotten your password, first try to reset your own password.

If you cannot reset your own password, we can assist you. To have your CIS password reset during this time please email a signed consent.  Your signed consent will need to contain the following information:

• Your name
• Your uNID number.  If you do not know your uNID number, please include your date of birth and let us know you need your uNID number.
• A statement requesting that your password be reset
• Your handwritten signature.  No typed signatures will be accepted.
• A photo ID

Once your signed consent has been completed, it can be scanned or photographed and emailed to registration@utah.edu.

Although faculty may make schedule adjustments due to moving online, it is rare that the entire class would be canceled. The Registrar’s Office works very closely with the department offering the class, Income Accounting, Financial Aid, Veteran Services and Athletic Eligibility to ensure that students are not adversely affected before cancellations are processed.

Cancellations most likely to occur at this point would be due to required travel and or/wilderness permitting, or cases where the course objectives absolutely could not be met in an online format. If you are enrolled in a course that is cancelled you will recieve an email from the Registrar's Office notifying you of the cancelation.

Some classes will NOT be able to be offered during the summer due to physical requirements like a pool or specialty lab.

Faculty, for guidance on how to move your class online, visit the TLT website. Faculty members with questions not answered by the website can request support by emailing classhelp@utah.edu.

Requests for exceptions to online instruction should be rare and should come from individual college deans to the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs for review, subject to accreditation requirements.

We will be shifting ALL summer courses online this year – first session, second session, and semester-long summer courses. The change also will apply to continuing education courses. Please see your departments scheduling coordinator to determine which of the below two instructional modalities best apply to your course:

We encourage you to speak with your department to determine whether or not certain fees should be charged.

An incomplete grade (I) should only be submitted in circumstances beyond the student’s control. The student should otherwise be passing the course and need to complete 20% or less of the course. For additional information, please view the grading policy.

To accommodate faculty/staff that are telecommuting, the Office of the Registrar will allow faculty/staff to submit grade change requests via email to grades@utah.edu for a limited time.  These emails MUST come from the faculty/staff UMail account and must include all of the following information: 

• Student Name:
• uNID:
• Term:
• Year:
• Department Name:
• Catalog Number:
• Section Number:
• Credit Hours:
• Change grade to:
• Date work completed:
• Reason for report of credit/change in final grade:

If grade change requests are submitted from an email account other than UMail, or the information listed above is incomplete, the request will not be processed. 

While we normally require department approval in some instances to change a grade, we will be suspending that requirement at this time.  Once the University has returned to normal operation, grade changes processed in this manner will be sent to departments for verification of authenticity.  We will also return to the physical Report of Credit/Change in Final Grade form at that time.

Please note, a class may not be graded using a mixture of CR/NC and letter grades. The class must be graded using either CR/NC grades, or must be graded with letter grades (i.e. A-E). Please speak with your college/department to determine if CR/NC grades would be appropriate for your course, as there are implications for choosing to grade in this way.
