TIMELINE
Taubman College undergraduate students have until the Late Drop/Add Deadline for each of their courses each term to elect the pass/fail grading basis. The deadline for Taubman College graduate students is the Regular Drop/Add Deadline for the term.
Credit hours for courses satisfactorily completed as pass/fail will apply toward the degree, but grade point averages are not affected.
Instructors are not informed of those students taking a course on a pass/fail basis. Instructors report grades as usual and the Office of the Registrar makes the following conversions:
- A through C- is entered on the academic record as “P” (pass) for credit.
- D+ through E is entered on the academic record as “F” (fail) for no credit.
