Pass/No Pass Option

A student may choose a course with a pass/ no pass option. The University’s pass/no pass policy carries these conditions:

  • Students are permitted to designate the pass/no pass option for up to four courses toward the baccalaureate degree, and up to two courses toward the associate’s degree. Once the course is completed with a grade of pass (P), it cannot be repeated for a letter grade.
  • Courses can be taken under pass/no pass only from general elective courses. Courses being used to satisfy major requirements, foundational, or thematic liberal arts requirements may not be taken as pass/no pass.
  • Courses taken under the pass/no pass option will not count in the student’s GPA.
  • The pass/no pass option must be chosen during registration and cannot be changed after the end of the add/drop period for that semester.
