Can I take courses on a pass/fail basis?

Students may elect to take up to 12 credits of work in which the announced grading system is A-F on a Pass-Fail basis according to the following guidelines:
  • Such election cannot be taken in courses that apply to the major, minor, or Education concentration.
  • Prorations for transfer students will be administered by the Office of the Registrar.
  • Students electing a Pass-Fail grade must indicate this option during the seventh and eighth weeks of classes in a thirteen-week term and during the third and fourth week in a six-week term. Pass-Fail forms may be picked up in the Office of the Registrar, McGraw Hall, room 113, and must be filed with the Office of the Registrar during the appropriate period. The advisor must sign all Pass-Fail forms.
  • Instructors are not to be notified of the student’s choice and will submit letter grades for all students. The Office of the Registrar will convert the grades for those students electing the Pass-Fail option.
  • Passing (P) grades do not affect the GPA. However, credits are awarded towards earned credit hours. Failing (F or WF) grades affect the GPA and no credit is granted.
