Pass-Fail Registration

The pass/fail option requires the approvals of the academic advisor and instructor and is subject to the following guidelines:

  • A pass grade represents work completed at C- or above.

  • The pass/fail option is open only to second-term sophomores or above with a minimum 2.30 GPA. (The exception being the practicum which is open to all qualified students.)

  • No course needed for teacher certification may be taken pass/fail.

  • No course in the major, minor or concentration field (except the practicum) may be taken pass/fail until all requirements in those areas are met.

  • No general education course may be taken pass/fail until all general education requirements are met.

  • Language courses required for the Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree are not eligible for the pass/fail option.

  • The pass/fail option must be declared during the first week of classes (first five class days of fall/spring semesters).

  • Pass/fail courses do not affect the cumulative GPA if passed; however they do affect the GPA if failed.

  • Pass/fail courses are limited to one course per term.

  • Pass/fail courses are limited to a total of 13 credit hours; courses offered only on a pass/fail basis are not included in this total.

  • The student is responsible for registering for the course. Upon approval, the Office of the Registrar will change the grade mode from normal to pass/fail.

  • The Pass/Fail Registration form must be pre-approved by the academic advisor and instructor before submission to the Registrar.
