Pass/Fail Grade Policy

While earning a bachelor's degree, students may choose the pass/fail grading alternative for a maximum of 3 credits per Term up to a total of 16 credits toward a degree.

Pass/fail cannot be used for CORE Category I: Purposeful Communications [PC], Quantitative Skills [QS], or Scientific Reasoning [SR]  requirement courses or for repeated courses.

Except for Major & Minor areas courses, the minimum passing grade for credit is a D (1.0); any grade below this minimum is a fail. No grade below a C will count for Major & and Minor area courses. All grades will be recorded on the grade roster as  A, B, C, D, F.  The pass/fail marks will be placed on students' transcripts and grade reports by the Registrar's Office. The course will not be included in the grade-point calculation, but the pass or fail will be recorded, and in the case of a pass, the course credits will be counted toward degree requirements.
