<p>“The new grading scale will be implemented on a “day forward” basis, being effective beginning in fall 2009 and thereafter. This scheduled start date will be adhered to unless the Office of the Registrar states that it cannot ensure that all of the necessary processes are in place to assure an orderly transition; in that case, it will begin at the start of the first academic year after such assurance can be made. The new grading system will not be effective until it is described in General Information.”</p>
