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 core requirements, thematic liberal arts requirements, or liberal arts explorations 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.
