Pass/Fail Grading

Full-time students may elect to take one course each semester, including courses which fulfill Liberal Education requirements (except ENG 105), on a pass/fail basis. Part-time students may also elect this option with their advisors' approval. This may be in addition to courses in physical education, which students may wish to take on a pass/fail basis, or any course with mandatory pass/fail grading. The intention to take any course on this basis must be stated at the time of registration or during the first two weeks of the semester. The form required can be downloaded from the web or picked up at the Student Solution Center. Quality points for passing grades are not calculated in the grade point average for pass/fail courses, but failure grades are calculated in the grade point average. Students who wish eligibility for Dean's List should consult catalog pages regarding the possible effects of pass/fail grading on Dean's List eligibility. In the following majors, no required course in the major or concentration may be taken for pass/fail grading, unless the course has mandatory pass/fail grading: American Studies, Art, Communication Sciences and Disorders, Communications, Computer Science, Criminal Justice, Education, English, History, History/Political Science, Political Science, Mathematics, Music, Philosophy, Psychology, Science, Sociology, Spanish, Women's and Gender Studies.
