Pass / Fail Policy

Undergraduate students may take up to two completely free electives under a pass/fail option. The purpose of this option is to encourage choice of challenging electives, including those outside the student’s major. Students must request this option, within 3 weeks after the course begins, in their Dean’s Office. When the pass/fail option is chosen, the student’s final grade will be recorded as S for Satisfactory or U for Unsatisfactory. Either grade will not affect the cumulative grade point average. A satisfactory grade will count for course credits and fill any requirements for graduation. An unsatisfactory grade will not count for course credits and will not fill any requirements for graduation.
