Pass/No Pass policies for Spring 2020 undergraduate courses have been expanded.
Pass/No Pass policies for Spring 2020 undergraduate courses have been expanded.

In response to the unexpected and difficult circumstances students are experiencing because of COVID-19, Pass/No Pass policies for Spring 2020 undergraduate courses have been expanded.

• Undergraduate students will have until Friday, May 29, 2020 to switch any Spring 2020 undergraduate course from a letter grade to Pass/No Pass.

• This policy applies to all Spring 2020 undergraduate courses, including those normally ineligible for P/N grading. All courses taken on a Pass/No Pass basis that are completed with a Pass will meet requirements for majors and will count toward all degree and prerequisite requirements.

• In keeping with established university policy, courses taken on a Pass/No Pass basis in the Spring 2020 semester will not be factored into a student’s grade point average.

• To make this switch, students are required to consult with an academic advisor.

If students have already chosen to switch to Pass/No Pass or if they do so in the near future, they will have until May 29, 2020 to switch back to a letter grade. For this reason, it is important that instructors continue to grade work as usual for all students.
