Alternative Grading Option (Pass/Fail)

Students in good standing may, after successfully completing 24 credits, enrol in up to 12 credits on an ungraded (pass/fail) basis. Courses taken on an ungraded basis may not be used to satisfy major, minor, general education or certificate requirements. Courses taken on an ungraded basis are recorded as P (pass) or F (fail), and neither grade is included in the calculation of grade point averages.

To designate a course as ungraded, a student must complete an application form available at the Office of the Registrar, and submit it to that office before the end of the second week of classes in the course.

It is possible to revert to the regular grading scheme after choosing the alternative grading option. The Office of the Registrar must be notified of this decision no later than the last day to withdraw from the course without academic penalty.
