096-TF Info


During final folder review with your instructor the Writing Program decided to grant you a grade of TF for your writing course.

What does this mean?

This means that your work for the course is close to passing but is not yet at the passing level. Rather than requiring you to immediately retake the course, the Writing Program is giving you the opportunity to meet with a tutor at one of the Writing Centers to work on revision strategies for your paper(s).

So will I get a passing grade just for revising my paper(s)?

No! Your revised work must earn a passing grade in order for you to pass the course. If your revised work does not earn a passing grade, you will need to retake the course for which you earned the TF. You are being given an opportunity to pass the course, not a guarantee that you will pass.

What do I need to do now?

  • You should go to one of the Writing Centers to enroll for 096-TF tutoring as soon as possible. Be sure to tell the desk staff at the Writing Center that you need 096-TF tutoring, not regular tutoring.
  • If you do not revise your paper(s) with an 096-TF tutor, then the temporary grade of TF will automatically change to a permanent failing grade for the course.
