Pass/Fail

Undergraduate Schools

The pass/fail option is available to undergraduate students under the following conditions:

Must be in good academic standing (not on probation).
Must have completed at least two semesters and have achieved at least sophomore class standing.
Must be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours on a graded basis in the term. (Graduating seniors who have permission to take fewer than 12 credit hours on a graded basis may take one pass/fail course in addition to the courses required for graduation.)

Registration Process

Students elect the pass/fail option by submitting the appropriate form to their school鈥檚 Office of Academic Services.

Students may elect the pass/fail option or change a course from pass/fail to graded status until the deadline for withdrawal for each term.
Grading Process

Students who are registered for a course on a pass/fail basis must meet all course requirements (reports, papers, examinations, attendance, etc.) and are graded in the normal way. (Instructors are not informed of the names of students enrolled on a pass/fail basis.)

Any grade of D鈥� or above is converted in the student records system to a P, while an F will be recorded if a student fails the course.

The P grade is not counted in the grade point average, but the grade of F is. If a grade of P is later converted to the recorded grade, that grade will be calculated in the grade point average.
