All about P/D/F 

March 13, 2019 

PASS/D/FAIL Grade Option:  Deadline, Thursday, March 28, 11:30 p.m.

*Can students use a P/D/F class to satisfy a General Education requirement?  YES

*Can students use a P/D/F class to satisfy a major or minor requirement?  NO

*Will the students' instructors know that they've elected P/D/F in their class?  NO

*I have a student who tried to click on P/D/F Option online as directed, but nothing happened! This is most likely because they are using Safari as their web browser. Try Chrome or Firefox or another browser. If the problem persists, have the student contact Student Computing.

*Can students uncover their P/D/F grade?  YES, until the deadline. For spring 2019 classes, the uncover deadline is September 13, 2019. Keep in mind, that an uncovered P/D/F grade still counts towards the maximum of 23 credits (22 for transfers) that students can P/D/F during their time at Barnard. [Exception: Graduating seniors cannot uncover grades in their final semester.]

*If students uncover their grades, can they then use them to satisfy a major or minor requirement?  YES

*Can students uncover their P/D/F grade and then re-cover it?  NO, but they can view their grade and then decide whether to uncover.​

*Where do students go to select P/D/F?  In myBarnard, Academics tab, in the MyAcademicRecord channel.

Remember, you can always check the 2018-19 Advising Guide and the Instruction Manual for Advising & Registration Systems if you have questions
