密歇根大学计划于2027年秋季启动一项试点项目，对文理学院部分大一新生第一学期的成绩单隐藏字母成绩，且不计入GPA1。文理学院（LSA）是该校安娜堡校区最大的学院，占本科生入学人数一半以上，2026年秋季有近5000名学生进入该学院1。LSA本科教育副院长蒂姆·麦凯（Tim McKay）表示，项目两大目标是鼓励学术探索和改善学生心理健康1。
根据试点规定，学生仍会收到课程字母成绩，只是不显示在成绩单上、不计入GPA1。转学生不符合该试点资格1。学校将衡量学生选课数量、课程多样性及早期学习动力等指标1。密歇根大学全日制大一学生升入大二的保留率为97%1。
该试点引发全国争议1。批评者认为这是在“纵容”学生1。部分学生支持给予过渡空间，但也担忧对实习和研究生申请的实际影响1。
The University of Michigan has announced a pilot program that will hide letter grades on the first-semester transcripts of some first-year students in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) and exclude them from GPA calculations starting in the fall of 2027 1. As the largest college on the Ann Arbor campus, LSA accounts for more than half of the undergraduate enrollment, with nearly 5,000 students entering the college in the fall of 2026 1. Under this initiative, transfer students will not be eligible to participate, and while students will still receive letter grades for their courses, these grades will not appear on their transcripts or affect their GPAs 1.
Tim McKay, the associate dean for undergraduate education at LSA, stated that the initiative is driven by two primary objectives: encouraging academic exploration and improving student mental health 1. To evaluate the program's impact, the university will track metrics such as the number of courses taken, course diversity, and early learning motivation among the students 1. This pilot comes at a time when the retention rate for full-time first-year students advancing to their sophomore year at the university stands at 97% 1.
The proposed policy has sparked a national debate, with critics arguing that the university is coddling students, while some students support the transitional space despite concerns about its practical impact on internship and graduate school applications 1.
