   Pass/Fail Grading Option

Some courses can be taken pass-fail. First check course listings to see if a course if being offered pass-fail. Also read below for information and specific requirements.

  1. To register for a course under the pass-fail option, an undergraduate must have completed 30 or more credit hours with a GPA of at least 2.0. At least 15 of these credit hours must have been completed at UMCP with a University of Maryland GPA of at least 2.0
  2. Courses for which this option applies must be electives in the student's program. The courses may not be college, major, field of concentration, or general education program requirements.
  3. Only one course per semester or one course per summer session may be registered for under the pass-fail option.
  4. No more than 12 semester hours of credit may be taken under the pass-fail option during a student's college career.
  5. Students may not choose this option when re-registering for a course.
  6. When registering under the pass-fail option, a course that is passed will count as hours in the student's record but will not be computed in the grade point average. A course that is failed will appear on the student's record and will be computed both in the overall average and in the semester average.

NOTE: CHANGES OF GRADING OPTION MAY BE PROCESSED ONLY DURING THE FIRST TEN DAYS OF CLASSES.

 GRADUATE STUDENTS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE PASS-FAIL GRADING for courses numbered 400 and above.
