I am curious about how schools handle course credit for late admits.
When students arrive at your school significantly after the drop/add
period for a marking period has ended, are they eligible to receive
letter grades, or are they placed on a pass/fail system until the start
of the next full grading cycle?=20

Similarly, when a student is out for an extended period (several weeks
or more) for a medical or potential disciplinary situation, is there a
point at which you convert the student from letter grades to pass/fail.

For me, there would seem to be a fundamental question about we value
time spent in class and how we weigh it against performance on
assessments, but I would be grateful for philosophical responses in
addition to procedural ones.

Thank you for any light that you can shed, and congratulations to you if
you work at a school which has not had to consider admitting new
students during the school year.
