Pass/Fail

The following options are available to undergraduate students:

• Standard Pass/Fail. Students who wish to take a course offered on a standard basis for pass/fail may request to do so in the Registrar鈥檚 Office. To elect the pass/fail option, students submit a written request to the Registrar no later than the end of the sixth week of the semester. (Deadlines for winter term, summer and other shortened terms are prorated. See the published Academic Calendar for specific deadlines.) The instructor will not know that a student has elected the pass/fail option and will submit a traditional grade. Grades of 鈥淐-鈥� and above are recorded as 鈥淧*鈥� on the student鈥檚 transcript. Grades of 鈥淒+鈥�, 鈥淒鈥�, 鈥淒-鈥� and 鈥淔鈥� are recorded as 鈥淔*鈥�.
• Pass/Fail Oriented. Students who wish to take a course offered on a pass/fail oriented basis for a traditional grade submit a written request to the Registrar鈥檚 Office no later than the end of the sixth week of the semester. (Deadlines for winter term, summer and other shortened terms are adjusted accordingly.) In this case, the instructor will turn in a traditional grade rather than a 鈥淧鈥� or 鈥淔鈥� as usual.

Pass/Fail Regulations
The following regulations are in effect:

• Grades of 鈥淧*鈥� and 鈥淧鈥� are not computed in the student鈥檚 grade point average; grades of 鈥淔*鈥� and 鈥淔鈥� are computed in the average.
