Summer Course Pass/Fail
The College permits undergraduate juniors or seniors to employ a Pass/Fail Option in one course each Fall and Spring semester for a total of four Pass/Fail courses. One summer course taken between the junior and senior year may count toward that total of four. The grade of "P" is given to students who successfully complete a course in which they have exercised the Pass/Fail Option. The student who fails such a course will receive a grade of “F,’’ which is counted the same as any other failure.
The Pass/Fail Option can be used only in a course that is a free elective. No course taken as Pass/Fail can fulfill a General Education, major or minor requirement. Any student may take up to two Foreign Language courses even if this exceeds the maximum number of Pass/Fail courses allowed as long as these courses are not requirements of the major or minor.
The student who passes such a course will receive a grade of “P’’ with no quality points figured in the cumulative average.
Once the Pass/Fail option has been exercised, it cannot be retracted.
NOTE: Graduate students may not take a course for Pass/Fail.
