To encourage intellectual exploration, Boston University permits students to elect up to 8 credits of academic coursework on a Pass\/Fail basis to satisfy requirements for the bachelor\u2019s degree. P indicates a course grade of D or above.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In keeping with the intended use of Pass\/Fail to encourage intellectual exploration, students elect Pass\/Fail near the end of, or after, the course, rather than at the beginning. For this reason, Faculty will not be aware of whom among their students will elect to take the course as Pass\/Fail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Please note that in general, students enrolled in the Questrom undergraduate program may only complete courses Pass\/Fail in the following categories: 1) the non-management elective requirement, and 2) the free-electives requirement; students may not apply the course toward required electives which must be from Questrom, and Pass\/Fail courses may not be applied toward a Questrom concentration. Additionally, the Pass\/Fail option may not apply to gateway or the business minor requirements for non-Questrom students.
