The Pass/Fail regulation allows students to take courses of interest without affecting the student’s GPA, unless a grade of F is received in the course. Students are allowed to enroll in courses that are normally graded courses for pass/fail credit providing they adhere to the following guidelines.
-
Courses that are required Pass/Fail, such as Computer Literacy, internship or practicum are not part of this policy.
-
Each student may take up to eight (8) credits of the 120 required credits for graduations on a Pass Fail basis at the student's discretion. The student and the student's advisor are responsible for keeping track of these hours.
-
A student may not take the following for Pass/ Fail:
-
Courses that will be a part of the student’s major, minor, or general education program.
-
Honors courses.
-
Directed Independent Studies.
-
-
To be eligible for a Pass/Fail course, a student must have:
-
Completed 30 credit hours of college courses.
-
A GPA of 2.5 of higher.
-
Permission of the student's advisor. Students not meeting these minimum criteria may be allowed to receive Pass/Fail credit with permission of their advisor.
-
-
A student must tell the Registrar that they plan to take a course for Pass/Fail by the end of the course add period at the beginning of the semester. The student must have the advisor’s signature indicating permission to take the course on a Pass/Fail basis as well as written permission from the instructor.
-
Grades of P do not count toward the student’s GPA, but the credits are awarded towards the degree. Grades of F are recorded as such on the student’s transcript, and are calculated as part of the student’s GPA.
-
Repeated courses must be taken for letter grades, regardless of how they were originally taken.
