Pass/fail grades are NOT included in the GPA. If the course is passed, the units of credit will be applied toward graduation. If a course is taken under the pass/fail option, the grade of P or F will be permanently recorded. To receive the grade of P, the student must be doing work comparable to a D or better. Under such registration, the only final grades available to the student are P (pass) or F (fail). All students enrolled in that course must be graded by the same system.įor certain courses, a qualified student may elect to register under the pass/fail option. * NOTE: For house numbered courses with a choice of grading systems (senior capstone, colloquium, etc.), departments have the option of awarding regular grades only (A,B,C,D,E) or alternative grades S/P/F, as departmental policy dictates. Law grades: law students please consult the College of Law Grading System. See the College of Medicine Grading System for more information. Medical grades: all 800-level courses offered by the College of Medicine are graded on an honors/ high pass/ pass/ fail system (H, HP, P, F). If the course is passed, the units of credit may be applied toward the degree at the discretion of the student's major advisor. As with all courses, the option of awarding an I remains available when warranted. Graduate courses: Grades for 900 through 925 house numbered courses and other graduate level project courses that continue for longer than one term will be awarded S, P, or F on the basis of the work completed during the semester of enrollment. Grades of S (superior), P (pass), and F (fail) are not included in the calculation of the GPA, nor do they count toward meeting the criteria for dean's list, honorable mention, or academic distinctions.

Courses using alternative grades are designated as such in the course descriptions.
