Frequently Asked Questions

Pass/fail requests must be submitted via insideND's eForms during the first six class days of the semester. We recommend attending the class first so you get a better idea of the grading system. Once processed, the decision to take a course pass/fail is irrevocable.  Keep in mind that all students must carry 12 graded credit hours to be eligible for Dean’s List.  Students are advised to check their Detailed Student Schedule through insideND on the 8th class day of the semester to ensure the Grade Mode for that class has been designated as pass/fail. Errors or omissions will not be corrected after the 2nd week of classes.

The instructor of the course will not be informed of your status and will grade all assignments and exams with standard letter grades. The Registrar will interpret the final grades of “A” through “D” as “PASS.” A failed pass/fail course will impact your term and cumulative GPA. Additional details are available on the pass/fail request form and should be read carefully prior to submitting the form.  (Go to insideND eForms, click on the left sidebar "Create New Forms" and scroll down to Special Use Forms, select "Pass/Fail".  Complete and submit.)
