Pass/Fail

Pass/Fail

The Pass/Fail option may only be taken by a full-time undergraduate student with sophomore standing or above who is in good academic standing.  Students may elect to take one course per semester (up to 6 in their academic career) under the pass / fail grading system.

The following rules apply to the Pass/Fail option:

  •  A passing grade does not figure into the GPA, but a failing grade does.
  • Only "free electives" may be taken pass/fail.
  • No course in the major or minor, core curriculum or a foreign language requirement may be taken pass / fail.
  • A student who elects the pass / fail option may remove the pass / fail option during the first nine weeks of the term.
  • If a course taken under the A-F grading system is repeated, it must be repeated under the A-F system.
