Pass/Fail Policy

Spring 2020: Decker Undergraduate Pass/Fail Policy Advising Notes:

  • Courses completed with a pass/fail grading option will not fulfill prerequisites, or major degree requirements. 
  • You are expected to consult with a professional advisor to discuss the impacts of changing your course grading option prior to making any changes.
  • If, after consultation, you choose to take prerequisites or major degree requirements pass/fail you must repeat the course and achieve the minimum passing letter grade, which may delay your graduation.
  • Elective credits, with the exception of the required nursing elective, may be taken pass/fail.
  • General education credit will be awarded for courses completed pass/fail. 
  • Students completing the forensic health minor may use the pass/fail option for those courses taken beyond the requirements for their nursing degree. However, they must maintain the 3.0 GPA required for the minor.
