13. Pass-Fail and Credit-No Credit Courses

Pass-Fail (P-F) is a student-option alternative way of being graded in a regularly graded course. Credit-No Credit (CR-N) describes courses approved for two-level grading and is not a student option.

All engineering students may count toward an undergraduate degree two P-F courses. These courses must be liberal or free electives. Only students in good standing may elect the P-F privilege.

A student may change the grading option of a full-semester course to or from pass-fail only during the first four weeks of classes. (See also Regulation 15.)

The pass-fail agreement is between the student and the Registrar, and is not revealed to the person teaching the course. The person teaching the course submits the appropriate letter grade to the Registrar, who converts C or higher grades to S (Satisfactory), D and F grades to U (Unsatisfactory).

Courses designated as CR-N will not be counted in determining the number of pass-fail courses the student may elect.
