Pass/Fail

A student who has completed 30 semester hours may take up to 16 semester hours on a Pass/Fail basis, not to exceed one per term. A grade of Pass is equivalent to at least a C and will be recorded as Pass on the transcript. A grade of either D or F will be recorded as such on the transcript. Registration on a Pass/Fail basis is subject to the following restrictions:

  • The student must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher.
  • The courses taken Pass/Fail must not fulfill G.E. requirements or those of a major field, including supporting courses for the major.
  • Not more than one course in a department may be taken Pass/Fail.
  • Application to take a course on a Pass/Fail basis (or to withdraw an accepted application) must be made to the registrar before the end of the fourth week of classes.
  • Application must have the approval of the student’s advisor and, for courses in the education sequence, of an education advisor.
