Offering Pass/Fail Option for Illinois State University Classes Due to COVID-19

The Issue

Due to COVID-19 college students across the nation are facing unprecedented challenges as they continue their education through an exclusively online format. Tuition is calculated to include the many amenities on campus whether it be the Student Fitness Center, Milner Library, Tutoring Services and numerous more great on-campus offerings. Many of us are facing financial difficulties and working long hours to supplement. Without the true college experience that allows us to thrive and excel in classes it would be fair to reward Illinois State Students' best academic efforts with an optional pass/fail condition during this unprecedented pandemic which continues to harm more Americans and people across the world. Please help lessen the burden and stress during this difficult time for us students to allow us to focus on family, health, and safety while continuing our higher education.
