Pass/Fail Course Option

Students who have obtained sophomore status are permitted to take up to six courses on the Pass/Fail basis with restrictions outlined in the Undergraduate Bulletin under the Academic Policies and Procedures section.  Please refer to those guidelines.  Print the Pass/Fail form, complete the form, and make an appointment with the Assistant Deans Office to have the request approved.

Download the form here.

Repeat a Course

Courses in which a C-, D+, or D grade is earned may, with the appropriate dean’s permission, be repeated only once, and the permanent record then includes the grades of both attempts.  For the purpose of computing academic standing, both attempts are counted, but credit toward graduation is given only once. 

To request permission to repeat a course, please complete an Academic Petition.

Independent Study

For students who demonstrate superior ability, an instructor may suggest a plan of independent study that shall include some remission of the obligation of regular class attendance.  Independent-study plans in each case shall have the recommendation of the department chair and approval of the appropriate dean. 

Please print the Independent Study Contract and complete all areas including securing the appropriate signatures.  After final approval by the dean, it is the student’s responsibility to register for the course with the Registration Office in the Student Service Center.
