Pass/No Pass Policy Updated

The Pass/No Pass grading option is intended to encourage students to explore areas of study beyond those of their major or minor.  Courses registered on the Pass/No Pass basis earn credits (for grades of P) but are not included in the calculation of the grade point average.  Students may select one course per semester to be graded in this manner under these conditions:

  • A Student must currently have junior or senior standing (60 or more credits completed).
  • The student must have a cumulative average of 2.75 or higher
  • The selected course may carry no more than four credits and must be a free elective.  It may NOT satisfy a Core Program requirement (no core courses can be taken Pass/No Pass) and may NOT be a course that could fulfill a requirement for the student's major or minor.  However, if major or minor requirements are already satisfied (i.e. completed, not in progress), then an additional course in the major or minor can be taken Pass/No Pass.
  • No more than 4 courses in total (excluding Physical Education activity courses) may be taken under this grading option.

All students may elect to take Physical Education courses Pass/No Pass.  Pass/No Pass registration must be completed during the first four weeks of the semester.  Forms are available in the Office of Registration and Records. Once a course is registered under the Pass/No Pass option, it may not be changed.  Grades of D- or higher are recorded Pass; grades of F are recorded No Pass.  Students should be aware that courses taken Pass/No Pass may not be transferable to other institutions.
