Pass/Fail Option
The pass/fail option permits students to explore areas of the curriculum at an advanced level without inappropriate risk to their overall academic standing. The following regulations govern the pass/fail option for all academic courses (excluding those in physical education):
- The option is open only to degree-seeking students with at least 60 credit hours earned toward the degree.
- The option is for free elective credit only and is not applicable to courses required in the core curriculum, the major program or a minor program.
- Only one course per semester may be taken on a pass/fail basis. The pass/fail option may be applied to a maximum of 14 credit hours, or 4 credit hours for each full year of residence, whichever is fewer. (A full year of residence is 30 credit hours.)
- The student must declare the pass/fail option at the time of registration with the approval of the academic advisor.
- Changes from or to the pass/fail option must be made before the end of the add/drop period, also with the advisor’s approval.
- A grade of “P” (achievement of at least “C-” or 1.7 quality points) earns credit hours toward the degree, but does not affect the GPA. A grade of “F” (achievement less than “C-”) earns no credit hours and is computed into the GPA.
- The pass/fail option may not be used to repeat courses except those previously taken on a pass/fail basis.
