Pass/Fail course form requests are open for students who are participating in a four-year program that does not have quality (weighted) point options at Levels 3 and 4. Students are also only allowed 2 Pass/Fail courses in any one school year.
The Pass/Fail requirements are listed as follows:
- The student must be a current sophomore or junior
- The course must be a Level 3 or 4, and the student must have taken Levels 1 and 2 before
- The course must be in a pathway that does not have weighted options
- Students must complete the application process by the required deadline
- Students must complete the form each year they are eligible
- Students must commit to the program prior to August 1st, because the decision cannot be changed after that date
- Students must earn a semester average of at least 80 to qualify for the “Pass” on the transcript and not have it included in GPA calculations. If it is less than an 80, it will be posted to regular grading guidelines and will be included in the GPA rankings
Students who complete the application before May 22, 2026, will receive a confirmation email by the end of the day, May 28, 2026. If it is complete after May 22, 2026, a confirmation email will be sent by August 1, 2026.
The confirmation email will also be sent to the email addresses of any parent/guardian on file with the school. If a student decides not to take a Pass/Fail class after completing the application, they are responsible for contacting their counselor in writing by August 1, 2026.
The Pass/Fail courses are best for students who have an overall GPA of 100 or above. If it is below 100, choosing to take a course as Pass/Fail might not be an advantage.
The approved courses can be located in the Pass/Fail presentation, the application can also be located in the presentation.
