</li><ol start="1" type="a">
<li class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-left:.25in">Due to a number of issues unique to the law school, including mandatory curving and rankings, students in the JD program will have mandatory Pass/Fail grading. Like the rest of the Special Spring 2020
Pass/Fail grading basis, a “Pass” grade will satisfy all program requirements. JD students should contact Mike Brooks

<h3>Summer Classes – Remote Modality</h3>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since last week’s announcement - that domestic campus Summer 2020 classes that begin before July 1, 2020 will not be held on campus - we have had several questions on how this will work. To enable the best possible learning experience
and recognize this as different than the traditional fully online course, a new instructional modality has been created - Remote. This temporary instructional modality joins the existing modalities of In-Person, Hybrid, and Online.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A few notes on the Remote instructional modality: </p>
<ol start="1" type="1" style="margin-top:0in">
<li class="MsoNormal" style=""><b>It is intended to be used for those classes that were previously scheduled to meet on campus in-person or hybrid modality.
</b></li><ol start="1" type="a" style="margin-top:0in">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">It should not be used for courses that were planned to be offered online as iCourses.</li></ol>
<li class="MsoNormal" style=""><b>You can determine if there is a meeting pattern for the class.</b></li><ol start="1" type="a" style="margin-top:0in">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">This will<b> allow synchronous</b> meetings for students and faculty, if needed.</li></ol>
</ol>
