New Gordon Rule Grading Policy

by Ella Tabares

The implementation of minus grades is not the only grade change that has been rolled out by UF recently. Effective Summer A/C 2009, grading the Gordon Rule writing requirement also changed. Sections of courses that offer Gordon Rule credit will now have two grading components: a course grade AND an indication of whether the student has met the writing requirement. Therefore, it’s possible to not meet the writing requirement but still pass the class. A total of 5,680 students who had not met the writing component of the Gordon Rule requirement were notified via an e-mail sent out by the Office of the University Registrar on May 12th .
