Evaluations

In each undergraduate course for which you receive a grade of D or better (or P), you may 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. An evaluation may:

• describe the strengths and weaknesses of your performance in the various areas of class activity (discussion, laboratory work, term papers, examinations);

• assess your general understanding of the course content;

• recognize additional or particularly outstanding work.

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. All students may request transcripts either with or without evaluations. An evaluation for your senior comprehensive examination or senior thesis also becomes part of your academic record.

You can view evaluations on MyUCSC.
