Virtual Support and Resources for Students
In light of the broader public health crisis, the faculty, staff, and administration
at SDSU are striving to provide continued access to all academic courses and student
services through a virtual environment. This website serves as a central clearinghouse
to help our students transition to, and thrive within, our new virtual environment.
Please click on any of the topics above (or via the Menu icon in the upper-right if
on a mobile device) to learn more. Please check this site periodically as information
is added and updated.
If you have limited access to the SDSU virtual environment because of economic conditions,
then please go to the Economic Crisis Response Team website, click the “Click Here to Request Assistance” button, and provide your details in
the “Other” category.
In addition to the various resources available through the boxes below, please note
the following time-sensitive opportunities regarding grading basis and course withdrawals:
Petition to Change in Grading Basis (Letter Grade to Credit/No-Credit) for the Spring 2020 semester
Please note changes in this process from previous semesters.
Deadline to submit above electronic petition is 7:59 pm PDT on May 1, 2020
Petition to Withdraw from One or More Courses for the Spring 2020 semester
Please note changes in this process from previous semesters.

Please note the following regarding the above options for grading and enrollment:
- Making a decision: Students should consult with the Assistant Deans and other relevant faculty and staff for their college in making any decisions regarding changes in grading basis or withdrawals.
- Transcripts: All SDSU transcripts will have a brief statement noting that the Spring 2020 semester coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Academic Probation and Disqualification: No students will go on Academic Probation as a result of this semester. If you are on Academic Probation, then this semester will not count as one of your three allowable semesters nor will this semester count if you would otherwise be disqualified.
- Financial Aid: Some of these grading decisions may have an impact on your financial aid. Please see information on the respective sites above and consult the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships for assistance.
