The School of Divinity allows students to register for a limited number of general electives on a pass/fail basis rather than for a letter grade, with the permission of the instructor. Courses taken under the pass/fail option yield full credit when satisfactorily completed but, whether passed or not, they are not computed in the student’s grade point average. Dates to change from grade to pass/fail mode, or from pass/fail to grade mode, are set by the University Registrar.

The pass/fail option is limited to general elective credits. In no case may a student use a course taken in the pass/fail mode to satisfy a required course. This limitation does not include required courses offered only in the pass/fail mode.

A student may count toward the Master of Arts degree program no more than three (3) credit hours taken in the pass/fail mode. This number does not include courses that are offered only in the pass/fail mode. 

Courses taken through the Graduate School can be taken in the pass/fail mode.
