All students requesting to change a final class grade to PASS / FAIL must speak directly with their current teacher before submitting this form. The student and teacher should collaborate on this request and the teacher should provide feedback regarding such request. If the student decides after this conversation has concluded to move forward with the request for a Pass / Fail grade please continue to complete this form.
A student may elect the Pass/Fail option for one course each semester, including summer school. A maximum of 2.0 (4 classes) credits, not including Peer Group, Guided Study, or Lab Assistant, may be taken during a student’s high school career, with the Pass/Fail option. Permission of the Principal or the Principal’s designee is required to exceed the 2.0 credit limit.
- Students electing the Pass/Fail option are expected to meet the same course and attendance requirements as other students in the class.
Prerequisites will not be waived for students seeking to enroll in the Pass/Fail option.
The criteria for receiving credit with “P” for a course taken pass/fail is a grade of 60% or better on the teacher’s grading scale for all students in the class.
The course title and a letter grade of “P” (pass) or “F” (fail) is entered on the student’s transcript at the end of the semester. If a grade of “F” is earned, it will be computed in the grade point average.
Students must complete the Pass/Fail request form by the end of the 14th week of each semester. The request for Pass/Fail will be discussed by the student’s counselor, the teacher of the course requested as Pass/Fail, and the student submitting the request. Once a course has been approved as Pass/Fail, only a grade of “P” or “F” may be given for that semester.
The Principal or the Principal’s designee is authorized to make exceptions to the Pass/Fail option on a case-by-case basis.
