Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory

Students pursuing a bachelor’s degree may earn a maximum of 30 semester credits in courses graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory (S/U) basis, subject to the approval of each program.

• Transfer students may earn a maximum of one-fourth (1/4) of their remaining credits at the university on an S/U basis, providing the total does not exceed program policy.
• Transfer students with more S/U credits than allowed by the program policy are ineligible for additional S/U registration, except for required courses offered on an S/U basis only.
• Each course taken to satisfy a university requirement must be completed with a regular letter grade, unless the course is only offered for S/U.
• Each program is responsible for determining the total number of credits earned with grades of 'S' and the specific courses (transfer, elective, or required) that are acceptable toward a degree in that program, within the limits of the university maximum.
• Each course that is approved for S/U grading only is so designated in this catalog for reference.
• Credits and grades recorded in accordance with the satisfactory/unsatisfactory policy are applicable toward meeting graduation requirements, but are excluded when calculating the grade point average (GPA).
• Credit by exam is S/U only, except for those courses used to satisfy university, major, or minor program requirements that require a letter grade.
