Business Coursework: Ross Business School students may NOT elect Ross
Business School classes Pass/Fail unless the classes are mandatory P/F
(e.g., STRATEGY 389). This rule applies to all business school students and
business school classes, regardless of student’s earned credits, or years in
program.
LSA Coursework: BBA students do have allowance to take LSA classes
which are non-graded (P/F, CR/NC, S/U).
Note the following guidelines:
- Non-graded courses may be included in a distribution plan. (Note:
The final course in a sequence used to satisfy the Language Requirement
may not be elected on a Pass/Fail basis.)
- A change in grading pattern for a non-Business course is not
permitted after the first three weeks of a full term class, first week
of a half-term class, or first two weeks of a Spring or Summer session.
Courses elected after the registration deadline may not be elected on a
non-graded basis unless the course is offered as a “mandatory
non-graded” course. (The only exceptions to this policy are short
courses (e.g.,GEOSCI 101-115) which have started after the beginning of
the term. In these cases, the grading pattern may not be changed after
the second week of class.) The Ross Business School does not grant
exceptions to this policy.
- Students may count a maximum 30 non-graded credits toward the 120
credits required for a degree. Non-graded credits are earned in courses
for which no letter grade (A+ through E) is recorded on the transcript.
Only those non-graded credits actually earned are counted as part of the
total number of non-graded credits applicable toward a degree. (Advanced
Placement credits as well as transfer courses for which students earned
grades at another institution do not count against the 30-credit limit.)
- In the case of a student who has chosen to elect a (non-Business)
course —Pass/Fail, the Office of the Registrar converts the letter
grades according to the following policies:
- Grades of A+ through C- are posted on a transcript as “P“ (Pass);
credit toward a degree is earned; grades of D+ through E are posted on a
transcript as “F” (Fail); no degree credit is earned.
- Non-graded
courses earn credit toward a degree but not honor points. Therefore,
“Pass/Fail” (or Credit/No Credit, etc.) grades do not enter into the
computation of the term or cumulative grade point averages.
- All P/F course work taken prior to admission into Ross must have a C
or higher grade in order to transfer into the Ross School.
- Students
planning to apply to law schools should be aware that the Law School
Data Assembly Service counts “F” grades from P/F classes as F’s in
computing a student’s grade-point average. All graduate schools may
require that P/F grades be revealed as part of their review process.
- The Ross Business School holds students responsible for ensuring the
accuracy and completeness of their class schedule.
