"Pass/No Pass" Privilege


The “Pass/No Pass” (P/N) option is designed for your use by seeking to expand your intellectual horizons by taking courses in areas where you may have had minimal preparation. The “Pass/No Pass” (P/N) grading option is not available to students on academic probation unless the course is offered only on a “Pass/No Pass” basis only.

  1. Neither the “P” nor the “N” grade contributes to your GPA.

  2. “P” is interpreted to mean a grade of “C” or above. A grade of “C-” is not acceptable.

  3. A change to or from a “Pass/No Pass” for the Second Semester may be made until mid-term, Friday, March 5, 2010 (1/2 of the course).

  4. The “Pass/No Pass” or grade registration cannot conflict with the professor's, department, college, or University policy governing the grading options.

  5. Changing to or from “Pass/No Pass” requires using eNRoll to change the grading option, or processing a “Schedule Adjustment Form” with Registration and Records, 107 Canfield Administration Building South.

  6. For undergraduates, the University maximum of 24 “Pass” credit hours and/or college and department limits will apply. These limits do not include courses offered on a “Pass/No Pass” basis only. Consult your adviser or the Undergraduate Bulletin for restrictions on the number of “Pass” hours you can apply toward your degree.

  7. The “Pass/No Pass” grading option cannot be used for the removal of “C-”, “D+”, “D”, “D-”, or “F” grade factors. NOTE: See Undergraduate Course Repeat Policy.

  8. Pass/No Pass option for Graduate Students: See the “Academic Standards-Graduate” section for information concerning the graduate pass/no pass grade option.
