Students have until May 29 to determine if they wish to take classes Pass/Fail (for undergraduates) or Credit/No Credit (for graduate students), or if they want to Q-drop a course.
- Please encourage your students to not make any hasty decisions about changing to Pass/Fail, Credit/No Credit, or Q-drop a course. The deadline is past when grades are due so they can make an informed decision. And, as always, should consult with their academic advisor.
