Michigan students to keep first-semester grades

The University of Michigan plans to hide first-semester grades for incoming freshmen starting in fall 2027 to address mental health concerns and ease academic transition. While students will still receive feedback from professors, official transcripts will only show pass/no credit designations, not letter grades, which will not impact GPA. Some students support the policy, citing reduced stress, while others argue it may promote poor study habits and delay academic resilience. The measure is part of broader efforts to support student well-being, but opinions remain divided.
