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.
