Taking a course pass/fail is a good way to relieve some stress during the term if you find that you have a lot of challenging classes. However, before filing the paperwork there are a few important things you should know:
- Undergraduate and Graduate matriculated students may elect to take certain classes on a pass/fail basis. Requests must be submitted before the end of the fifth week of class for the fall and spring semesters.
- On your transcript, in lieu of a letter grade, a P (pass) or an F (fail) will appear, but it will not factor into your GPA.
- Pass/Fail decisions cannot be reversed. Even if you end up doing well in a class the pass/fail form will still stand.
- Undergraduate Students: The maximum number of courses students elect to take pass/fail may not exceed 25% of the student’s total program credits. All BS specialization courses and program prerequisites must be taken for a letter grade.
- Master's Students: The only course students may elect to take pass/fail is the graduate statistics (NURSE-GN 2005) course. Undergraduate students taking graduate statistics as a part of the Dual Degree program may not elect pass/fail for this course.
- DNP Students: Students are unable to elect any courses pass/fail.
- PhD Students: Students may elect to take a total of 6 credit hours pass/fail in addition to the 3 credits of NURSE-GN 3313 Dissertation Seminar taken pass/fail. Talk to your advisor about your options.
