Deadline to Request Pass/Fail
- The last day to request a pass/fail grade for a course is Friday, November 19. You must have the dean’s permission for this request.
- Interested in Requesting a Pass/Fail?
- Courses taken pass/fail can only count for Free Electives.
- If you believe you may receive a poor grade in a course, please discuss the pass/fail option with your instructor.
- This requires a written application to the academic dean, prior to the deadline (Nov. 19). Once approved, this status cannot be changed back. A student's cumulative grade point average (GPA) will not be affected by either a pass or a fail grade. Free electives will only count towards graduation if they receive a pass grade.
