The Pass / Fail option may only be taken by a full-time undergraduate student with sophomore standing or above who is in good academic standing. Students may elect to take one course per semester (up to 6 in their academic career) under the pass / fail grading system. 
The following rules apply to the Pass/Fail option:
| A passing grade does not figure into the GPA, but a failing grade does. | 
| Only "free electives" may be taken pass/fail. | 
| No course in the major or minor, core curriculum or a foreign language requirement may be taken pass / fail. | 
| A student who elects the pass / fail option may remove the pass / fail option during the first nine weeks of the term. | 
| If a course taken under the A-F grading system is repeated, it must be repeated under the A-F system. |
