On April 27, Provost Vanya Quiñones sent an email to students announcing that Pace will be extending its deadlines to withdraw from classes and choose to take classes pass/fail. As of now, students may withdraw from their classes until 11:59 pm on May 16-the last day of the semester- and they have until 11:59 pm on May 26 to request the pass/fail option. Students are also now allowed to rescind their pass/fail request if they change their mind. The deadline to rescind a pass/fail request is also May 26 at 11:59.

Provost Quiñones stated in her email that, in extending the pass/fail and withdrawal deadlines, Pace hopes to “provide some measure of relief to you during this extraordinary semester.” She also said that Spring 2020 transcripts will be annotated with a statement about the COVID-19 pandemic.

Quiñones reminded students to consult their instructors, academic advisors, and the Financial Aid Office to determine if these options are right for them, especially since withdrawing from a class could impact a student’s financial aid. She also reminded student athletes that they must consult Associate Athletic Director Claudia Stabile or Assistant Athletic Director Matt Anthony if they wish to select the pass/fail option.
