Taking a Course Pass / Fail

Registrar's Office

Students may take one course per semester on a Pass/Fail basis. The maximum total credits with a grade of pass which may count toward a degree is 12 hours. Students must indicate intention to take a course Pass/Fail no later than twelfth day of classes (the fourth day in the summer terms) by filing a form available in their academic dean's office. If a course is graded Pass/Fail for all students by departmental policy, a declaration by the student is not required. A failed course cannot be repeated on a Pass/Fail basis, except for the courses designated as Pass/Fail only courses. Students should consult their advisers/academic deans before declaring the Pass/Fail option for any course, as some courses may not be taken Pass/Fail.
