SUPPORT OF ELIMINATION OF TENTATIVE
GRADE POLICY AS A MEANS OF SOLVING
THE DEAD DAY CONTROVERSY
SPONSOR: Academic Affairs Standing Committee
WHEREAS students have expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of a dead day policy, and
WHEREAS presently in the Spring Semester dead week ends on a Thursday and final exams
begin on Friday, and
WHEREAS this policy does not permit adequate time for final exam preparation, and
WHEREAS shortening of the academic semester to accommodate a dead day(s) is not a viable
alternative, and
WHEREAS beginning the Spring Semester earlier to accommodate a dead day(s) is not a
viable alternative, and
WHEREAS elimination of the tentative grade policy would permit a two-day preparation
period between dead week and final exams
BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
SECTION 1. Student Senate support the elimination of the Tentative Grade Policy:
ELIMINATION OF TENTATIVE GRADE POLICY
The impetus for this proposal came from students’ desire to have a period between dead week
and final week without classes and exams. In order to achieve this objective, without lengthening
the semester or eliminating instruction periods, the tentative grade policy must be revised. In a
sense, this proposal is an indirect way of achieving a workable solution to the dead day
controversy.
If the statements above appear confusing, perhaps a bit of history and background information
would clear the fog. Approximately five years ago students on the University Commencement
Committee were concerned and thought it was unfair that diplomas were not presented at the
graduation ceremonies, but rather mailed to the student two to three weeks following the
ceremonies. Thus, in an effort to satisfy this apparent student concern the tentative grade policy
was formulated. This new policy allowed students to receive diplomas at the graduation
ceremonies.
The status quo (with the tentative grade policy) requires that the Spring Semester end on a
Wednesday so that diplomas can be prepared and records can be checked. Consequently, final
week must begin on the preceding Friday. The present system allows no time between dead week
and final week for students and faculty to prepare for final exams. If the tentative grade policy
were eliminated, final week could be scheduled Monday through Friday, with a weekend
separating dead week and final week. This change would give students and faculty an additional
two days (weekend) to prepare for final exams without shortening the academic semester.
