SUMMER 2009
PASS-FAIL OPTION

Undergraduate students may elect to take certain courses on a pass-fail basis. The purpose of this option is to provide an opportunity for the exploration of a broader range of coursework than is normally included in specific and distributive degree requirements. Conditions governing the acceptability of coursework that pertains to all students may be found in the Pass-Fail Policy under the General Requirements and Regulations section in the Undergraduate Catalog .

Students electing to take courses under the pass-fail option should consult their advisors for specific instructions and registration procedures. In addition, students considering this option should be aware that some institutions of higher education do not accept transfer credit taken on a pass-fail basis. In addition, most graduate and professional schools prefer that pass-fail credit be kept to a minimum.

Students wishing to take coursework on a pass-fail basis should follow these procedures:

• Log in to FlashLine from www.kent.edu and click on the Student Tools tab to access FlashFAST to register for the course.

 

• After registering for the course, click on the selected course's Grade Mode. You will make the grade option change to the selected course on the Change Class Options page.

 

• The last day to select the pass-fail grading option is:

  • May 27, 2009 for Intersession
  • June 18, 2009 for Summer I
  • June 21, 2009 for Summer II
  • July 23, 2009 for Summer III

 

NOTE: If class beginning and/or ending dates are other than the regular session dates for Intersession, Summer I, Summer II, or Summer III 2009, pass-fail deadlines may be different than noted above. For these flexibly scheduled classes, you may determine the pass-fail deadlines by calling the Office of the University Registrar at 330-672-3131 or by accessing Processing Dates for Classes from the Classes link.
