A student wishing to exercise a P-F option must apply to the Office of Registrar (UC 119) when registering or before the end of the third week of classes. Any undergraduate student not on academic probation may take courses on a P-F basis.
A student is limited to 12 semester hours of credit on a P-F basis over the course of the degree. Courses within an area of concentration (major, minor, cognate, track, cluster and option) may not be taken P - F. Required courses in English composition and mathematics may not be taken P-F. Departments may limit the P-F to courses outside the department or college.
A grade of P may be changed to a regular grade only if the student changes his or her program to an area in which a regular grade is required. The change must be initiated at the dean's office and must go through the normal grade change procedures. Once a P grade has been changed to a regular grade, the regular grade must remain. Under the P-F system, a grade of P will not be counted in a student's grade-point average; a grade of F will be counted in a student's grade-point average.
Even though a student chooses to take courses on the P-F basis, instructor's grade sheets will reflect the regular grade and the student may be informed of the regular grade upon request.
