• Courses that are failed cannot be retaken as pass/fail, except when designated as pass/fail-only courses.
• Pass/fail policies for major and minor courses may vary by school, so students should review their specific school’s catalog section for guidance. 

Find more information about the pass/fail option here.

Under the pass/fail grading option, grades of A, B, and C (including C-) are considered Passing (P), while D+, D, D-, and F are Failing (F). A pass/fail student will not receive their regular letter grade, and the pass/fail grade cannot be reverted to a letter grade (or vice versa) after assignment.
