The pass\/fail option is available to undergraduate students under the following conditions:<\/p>\n
Registration Process<\/strong><\/p>\n Students elect the pass\/fail option by submitting the appropriate form to their school’s Office of Academic Services.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Grading Process<\/strong><\/p>\n 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.)<\/p>\n Any grade of D\u2013 or above is converted in the student records system to a P, while an F will be recorded if a student fails the course.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Specific policies governing the pass\/fail option are defined at the school level.
