Due to the Novel COVID-19 virus, students across the United States have been assigned to complete their collegiate courses online. Specifically, students at Francis Marion University (Florence, SC) have had to deal with issues such as Blackboard being down, problems with Zoom, and possibly even internet connection. In signing this petition, you agree that Francis Marion University should alter the grading scale due to COVID-19. Students have worked hard this semester, and are continuing to work hard even though we are facing adversity. We elect there be a A-B-C grading scale with no curve.
