Instructions are now available at http://www.registrar.psu.edu/grades/spring-2020-grading/alternative-grade-calculator/. This includes screenshots and instructions from the fully developed tool. The tool, in LionPATH, will be available for use once all spring semester grades are finalized on May 20. You will then have from May 20 to May 29, 11:59 PM to explore and finalize your selections.
In the meantime, please see http://www.registrar.psu.edu/grades/spring-2020-grading/gpa-calculator/ on using the GPA calculator to explore the implications of the choices you can make regarding alternative grading. In considering options about alternative grading, you also may find the following alternative grade decision worksheet to be helpful: https://dus.psu.edu/alternative-grading-decision-worksheet.
Remember that decisions about using alternative grading involve more than just your GPA; academic advisers are prepared to discuss the implications with you.
