College - The Pass Fail Option
There is a very good chance that sometime during your student’s four years at college, he or she will consider taking a course pass/fail. What exactly does that mean? It means that instead of receiving an actual letter grade, he or she would receive a “P” for Pass or “F” for Fail.
