**PASS/FAIL OPTION MAY NOT BE USED TO SATISFY GENERAL EDUCATION, MAJOR, OR MINOR REQUIREMENTS*****SEE YOUR ACADEMIC ADVISOR FOR MORE INFORMATION***
In order to encourage students to explore new areas of knowledge without undue risk to their cumulative grade point averages, the College permits the taking of open elective courses on a pass/fail basis (see the definition of open electives above in the section on Requirements for the Bachelor’s Degree). Students wishing to take a course pass/fail may do so as long as that course is not required to satisfy general education requirements, major or major cognate requirements, Business core or concentration requirements, or minor requirements; only open electives may be taken on a pass/fail basis. No more than eight credits taken on a pass/fail basis may be taken from any one department, no more than four credits may be taken in a single semester, and no more than twelve credits may be counted towards the Bachelor’s degree. The Undergraduate Curriculum Committee of the Faculty Senate may exclude specific courses from pass/fail registration upon review of a department’s request. Details on grading, and on the impact on GPA of taking a course pass/fail can be found in the section on Grade Policies, below. The standard for a passing grade is determined by the instructor. Students should find out exactly what will be considered a passing grade before choosing to take a course on a pass/fail basis.
Students taking a course on a pass/fail basis should indicate their intention when they register for the course, but students may also make such a declaration on or before the 10th class week. No change to the pass/fail registration will be permitted after the conclusion of the 10th class week. Courses offered in a nontraditional term will have a pass/fail deadline equivalent to two- thirds of the course.
