Announcement

  • Hey Lions! Taking care of yourself during your studies is essential for your success. You are encouraged to explore the well-being resources and various student services that are available if you need extra support during your time at York.

    Just a quick reminder for undergraduate students about the following upcoming deadlines:

    • Assessed grades. An assessed grade is where your current grade becomes your final grade, which is determined based on already completed and graded course work. The deadline to choose an assessed grade is Sunday, May 26.
    • Pass/Fail grading option. The Pass/Fail grading option allows you to earn a limited number of credits towards your degree on a Pass/Fail basis, without impacting your GPA. If your course has been suspended / If your lecture has continued, but your tutorials, labs or grading have been suspended, the deadline to choose the Pass/Fail option is Sunday, May 26.
    • Undergraduate bursary. If you faced unexpected costs during the revised period after the labour disruption ended (remediation period), you may apply for an undergraduate bursary. This bursary can assist with non-tuition related expenses. The deadline to apply for the undergraduate bursary is Sunday, June 14, 11:59 p.m. EST.
