Electing the Pass/D/Fail Option Via eBear

The irrevocable deadline for the fall 2009 semester is Thursday, November 19, at 11:30 pm.  The deadline for spring 2010 is Thursday, March 25, at 11:30 pm.

Go to your current eBear program.

Click on "Pass/D/Fail Option" (on the right, under the last course listed on your program).

Electing the P/D/F option

In the Elect P/D/F column, check the box next to the course for which you would like to elect the P/D/F option.

Before you can click on Submit, you must read the Rules governing the Pass/D/Fail option (link at the upper right of the screen).  If you do not see the Rules, make sure to disable any pop-up blockers.

Click on Submit.

You will then see the following message:

Date   Requested P/D/F option; Registrar's approval is pending.

Within 2-3 business days, the Registrar’s Office will review your request.  Check the P/D/F screen again.  If your request has been approved, you will see this message:

Green check    Date    Approved by Registrar.  No further action required.

If you have requested P/D/F in a course in your major subject area, you will see this message:

Red check      Date     This course is in your major.  Approval from department chair required.  Check your email for instructions.
(See the Rules for information about declaring P/D/F in a course in your major.)

 

If you do receive approval, you will later see on-screen messages:

Blue check mark     Date:     Department chair has approved

Green check mark   Date:    Registrar has received department chair approval. No further action required

Red X        Date:      Department chair has denied

Within 2-3 business days after the Registrar or the Department Chair has approved your request, you will see a P on your eBear program, to the right of the point value for the course.  You have completed the process.  If the grade we receive from your instructor is C- or higher, you will receive a P on your transcript.  If it is D or F, you will receive D or F.

Revoking the P/D/F election

To revoke (read the Rules for the policy), click on the box next to the course in the Revoke column.

Within 2-3 business days, the P will be gone from your eBear program, and you will see a notation that the option has been revoked.
