Please complete this form to request changing a course grading from Letter grading to Pass/Fail grading.
This form is only for students in the B.A. Program.
This form is used to request to graduate and participate in Commencement. This form does not guarantee your graduation as you still need to complete all degree requirements prior to the graduation date.
The deadline for this form is the Monday following the end of drop/add of the semester you intend to graduate. Typically late January for Spring graduation, late May for Summer graduation, and mid-September for Fall graduation. If the deadline to submit this form for your intended graduation term has passed, you should contact your academic advisor immediately.
If you have questions about your eligibility for graduation, please contact your academic advisor. For further information about graduation, please see the Woods College Graduation Process webpage.
