Evaluations
Prior to 2001, UC Santa Cruz’ primary means of grading was narrative evaluations. In each undergraduate course for which you receive a grade of D or better (or P), you may potentially receive an evaluation of your academic performance. Faculty may also write an evaluation for a course in which you receive an F, NP, or W, but the evaluation does not appear on an official transcript.
Narrative evaluations may be used at UC Santa Cruz in academic advising, reviewing scholarship applications, and awarding honors in the major. Evaluations are a permanent part of your academic record and can be added to paper transcript orders, by request. An evaluation for your senior comprehensive examination or senior thesis also becomes part of your academic record.
