The University of Michigan plans to transition first-semester freshmen into a pass or no-credit grading system beginning next fall to help address mental health challenges among young adults.
Under the pilot program, incoming students enrolled in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts — which educates roughly half of the university’s 8,000 first-year undergraduates — will not receive letter grades on their official transcripts during their first term, the school said in a statement.
