<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;" class="">NOTE RE: UROP for Credit Summer 2021:</span> Due to the pandemic, students will have the option to register for the summer session and receive credit for UROP at no cost (i.e., tuition is waived).
Departments may set a cap on the number of units for their summer for-credit UROP subjects, but the cap may not exceed 18 units. The 18 unit cap applies to the total number of units of UROP credits a student may register for this summer, whether it is in one
UROP subject or spread out over multiple subjects. Note that the tuition-free option for credit UROP extends to summer 2021 only. For summers 2022 and beyond, applicable tuition will be charged for summer session UROP credit registration. </p>

For grading, departments will also determine whether students may receive a letter grade (i.e., A/B/C/D/F) or whether grading will be P/D/F for those subjects.
