Bombed that midterm? Slept through one too many lectures? Don’t panic! Today’s your last chance to pass/fail a class. (Remember, you need a letter grade for core and language classes…damn you, Arabic!) It’s also the last day to drop a class if you’re in SEAS.
Get the form here. Now go to Kent and save that GPA.

@is it a bad idea... to p/d/fail a course for your major? i mean, it seems like it would be, but if it isn’t then i’m going to!
@well i know in certain departments, you won’t get credit for a major class that you p/f/d. i dont know if it applies to all majors, though.
@supposedly You might not get credit for it. Also it probably looks bad, grad-school-wise (if that’s your path).
My advisor even heavily chastised me for P/F-ing a course that was in a department related (but completely separate) from my major’s department, despite the fact that the material was completely unrelated to my field of study. I mean, I didn’t listen to her, so take that with a grain of salt, but still.
@pretty sure you can’t get pbk if you pass/fail a class, unless you end up uncovering the grade. I could be wrong about that, though. anyone know?
@What is “pbk?”
@Anonymous Phi Beta Kappa
@...... doubt it. the website doesnt indicate anything to suggest that.

@pbker ???
you can definitely get pbk even if you pass/fail a class or three
@pretty sure pt. 2 I was a “pbker” too; however, junior year, when I spoke to my adviser about my likelihood of getting pbk, he told me to avoid pass/failing anything if possible. But perhaps this was because my major seemed easy or because he was being particularly cautious.
@Anonymous someones cares a bit too much about pbk
@shudder arabic. 5 terrifying credits worth of gpa destruction.
@Riven you do not need a form for changing P/D/F status of a class, just bring your CU ID and let them know which class you need changed.
@yeah ditto it’s really easy. Too bad they can’t let us P/D/F more than one class. LAME.
