UNDERSTANDING SATISFACTORY / UNSATISFACTORY

Reminders about S/U

  • Students may only take one course in the Dyson Core as S/U (including Calculus, and Economics). The Dyson Core courses are in the yellow area of degree checklist below.
  • Not all courses have the S/U option. If you go to the Course and Time Roster and search the course.
  • Students are not required to use their one S/U in the Dyson Core.
  • No concentration courses can be completed as S/U.
  • In most cases:
    • electives can be taken S/U, if offered with that option
    • CALS Distribution courses
    • It is good to verify this with an advisor in the Office of Student Services and Advising.

REMINDERS ABOUT DROPPING CORE COURSES

SPECIAL NOTE
If it is determined you are being untruthful in the information provided in any petition, we will treat it as a case of academic misconduct.

The goal of our Dyson Summer Internship Funding is to help financially offset the cost of participating in summer internships and experiences. The funding supports students with living expenses (including security deposits), daily transportation, and travel so that these essential career experiences are available to all Dyson students.

The maximum amount of funding available per student is $2,500 so that we can support multiple students. If you have extenuating circumstances and need additional funding, please provide additional documentation in your application.
