The College of Education, Health, and Human Services allows students enrolled in any of its degree programs to use the pass/fail grading system for up to four (4) classes. Students must indicate when registering for the course that they intended to take the course pass/fail. Please note that not all courses are designed to allow the pass/fail grading option. Grades A through C- are considered passing and grades D+ through E are considered failing. Pass/Fail grades are not included in any calculation of students’ GPA. Students are strongly encouraged to speak to a CEHHS Academic Advisor before registering for a course as pass/fail as they are only allowed to use the pass/fail option for general elective courses. Any required course cannot be taken as pass/fail. See specific details:

1. The student cannot be on academic probation.
2. The pass/fail option cannot be selected for any required course in a CEHHS program including: core requirements, major, minor, certificate program, or concentration.
3. Students in Teacher Certification programs cannot take courses in the educational professional sequence, teaching major, teaching minor, or elementary education distribution/core as pass/fail.
4. Students on the pre-health professions track cannot take courses in their respective pre- health profession track(s) as pass/fail.
5. Students can take only one course in the pass/fail grading system in a semester.
6. The optional pass/fail grade will count for residency and minimum credit hour requirements, but will not enter into the computation of a student’s grade point average.
7. Students cannot change the grading system of an elected course after the add/drop period (typically two weeks after the start of the semester).
8. The only exception to this policy is a circumstance in which a student changes his/her academic major and a formerly elective course taken pass/fail is now required in the new major. In this event, students should meet with a CEHHS Academic Advisor and a petition for the course will need to be completed and approved.
