3.3 Y Option

3.3 Y Option

At the end of the semester you will have an opportunity to specify the lowest grade that you want. If you earn a lower final grade, I will submit a Y grade for you. By the way, this is not a good option for a variety of reasons. Please drop the class if you can instead of exercising this option.

The college web page grade description (as of 2/6/2000) of the Y grade reads:

Y General Withdrawal 

This grade may be given by the instructor at his/her
discretion at the end of the term when circumstances 
dictate that none of the other grades are appropriate.

The "update" to the college catalog reads:

Y --- Special Withdrawal

(All students are provided information regarding the poten-
tial negative effects of the 'Y' grade.  The decision to grant
the special withdrawal is based on what is best for the
student in light of his or her educational objectives.  The
instructor will complete the standard 'Y' grade form,
specifying the rationale for the special withdrawal.)
