The Senate of Michigan Technological University


PROPOSAL 12-71

CLARIFICATION OF PASS/FAIL OPTION



In order to clarify the present Pass/Fail option in force, the Senate Instructional Policy Committee recommends to the Faculty Senate that the present policy be enlarged to indicate a proper accommodation for any present (and future) academic courses in which the only method of grading is on the Pass/Fail basis. Such is the case presently with UN 100.

An insertion into catalog copy as described on pp. 19-20 (catalog for 1971-72) is also recommended to complete this clarification. The proposed wording shall be:

In the instance where a course is offered only on a Pass/Fail basis, the provisions and restrictions upon the Pass/Fail option shall not be considered applicable.


Proposal Adopted by Senate: 26 May 1971
Approved by President: 16 June 1971
