Grading System

25. i) All courses at Glendon College are graded on the following system:

ii) Pass/Fail Alternative Grading Option

Students may take a limited number of courses for full degree credit on an "ungraded" (Pass/Fail Alternative Grading Option) basis. Courses taken on this basis are listed on the transcript as "P" for Pass or as "F" for Fail. Neither of these two grades is calculated into the student's grade point averages.

The following regulations apply to courses to be taken on an ungraded (Pass/Fail Alternative Grading Option) basis:

Academic Standing: Only students who are in good standing, (i.e. not on temporary probation, academic warning or Debarment Warning) are allowed to take such courses.

Prerequisite: Students may apply to take such courses only after they have successfully completed 24 credits.

Elective Courses Only: Courses taken on an ungraded (Pass/Fail Alternative Grading Option) basis cannot be used to satisfy major, minor, General Education, Certificate requirements or 1000-level Science courses.

Maximum Number of Ungraded Courses:

a) Honours Program: Students registered in an Honours program are allowed to take up to 12 credits on an ungraded (Pass/Fail Alternative Grading Option) basis.

b) Bachelor Program: Students registered in a Bachelor program are allowed to take up to six credits on an ungraded (Pass/Fail Alternative Grading Option basis).

Deadline: Students who wish to designate a course as "ungraded" must do so within the first two weeks of the term in which the course begins; they must first obtain the signature of the course director on the form available for this purpose from the Office of Student Programs. The completed form should then be returned to the Office of Student Programs by the deadline date.

Changing from "Ungraded" to "Graded": With the permission of the course director, students may change the designation of a course from "ungraded" to "graded" until the last day to withdraw from that course without academic penalty. Formal notification of such a change must be received by the Office of Student Programs by the deadline date.
