Alternative Grading: What’s the Catch?


Did you utilize the Alternative Grade process in semesters past? Are you considering using it again? Depending on your academic and financial situation that could be a MISTAKE. Alternative grades were designed with the best interests of students in mind, but students may not be aware of the long- term impact and consequences of their choices. Financial aid and entrance to major eligibility could be impacted. Join the Academic Advising and Financial Aid staff of Berks to explore the ins and outs of alternative grades and how they can impact your future at Berks (and beyond).
