Don’t Miss the Pass/Fail Deadline, Friday 11/20

Don’t forget, this Friday, 11/20 is the FINAL DEADLINE for choosing to elect the Pass/Fail option for your Fall 2020 courses.

Students may choose to have up to three of their courses as Elective Pass/Fail. Normally, students are only able to change one course per semester to Elective Pass/Fail. To switch from Letter-Grading to Elective Pass/Fail for your courses, click on the “Other Academic” dropdown menu (located next to the weekly course schedule) on the Spire Student Center, and select the option “Pass/Fail Elect.”

Students may choose Elective Pass/Fail grading for any and all types of courses, including those that satisfy graduation requirements. Normally, Elective Pass/Fail grading is reserved for elective courses that do not count toward graduation requirements. However, this semester the University is allowing all students to use Elective Pass/Fail grading for any and all types of courses, including GenEd courses, courses for a major, courses for a minor, courses for a certificate, etc.

More information on the Elective Pass/Fail option is available on the University Registrar’s website.

If you are having trouble deciding whether Elective Pass/Fail is the right choice for some of your classes, don’t wait! Contact an advisor right away!
