[PFOHO] Considering a Change of Grading Basis (Taking a Course P/F)?

by Heather Jacques, Academic Coordinator, Pforzheimer House

Hello Pfoho! As you may have heard, the change of grading basis process has moved online this year! Please see here <https://registrar.fas.harvard.edu/files/fas-registrar/files/students_change…> for more information about the process and how to check on the status of your request. (Please note: approved grading basis changes will be processed after the Fifth Monday (Oct. 5) - so you won't see the change in your crimson cart until after that date.) Read on for specific guidance for both changing a course from letter graded to pass/fail and from pass/fail to letter graded. *Going from Letter Graded to Pass/Fail:* If you are considering taking a class graded pass/fail this semester, please read below for a list of points to consider as you make your decision. *Are you enrolled in at least 1 FAS letter-graded course this semester?* - In order to meet minimum academic requirements each term, students need to have a satisfactory grade (C- or above) in at least one letter graded FAS course each semester (note: failure to meet this minimum requirement can put students at risk of being withdrawn for two terms). - It is prudent to have at least 2 letter-graded FAS courses each semester. *Are you on track to earn the appropriate number of credits from letter-graded courses?* - To graduate, all students need 84 credits (ordinarily 21 regular FAS courses) through courses in which you receive a satisfactory letter grade (i.e. C- or above) To be eligible for honors, you will need to have 96 credits (ordinarily 24 regular FAS courses) from courses in which you receive a satisfactory letter grade i.e. C- or above). - Cross registered courses and term-time study abroad courses – even when taken for letter-grades -- ordinarily are not counted towards this requirement 84/96 credits. (They may only be counted towards this requirement if used for concentration credit; this requires a form to be signed by the concentration and submitted to the Registrar’s Office. Please confirm with your concentration.) *If you expect this pass/fail course to count for concentration or secondary credit, keep in mind:* - Each concentration and secondary has its own requirements for whether or not Pass/Fail courses can count for concentration/ secondary credit. Some concentrations/ secondaries have firm rules governing this policy, while others allow for exceptional circumstances to be considered. Please confirm directly with your concentration or secondary adviser. *Make sure this course is not being used to fulfill Foreign Language or Expos.* - Foreign Language Requirements and Expos cannot be taken pass/fail. *If this course is counting for Gen Ed, Distribution, and QRD requirements, please keep in mind:* - Students in the Class of 2020 and beyond will graduate under the new College Gen Ed requirements. You can fulfill one of your four Gen Ed requirements with a course taken Pass/Fail (or SAT/UNSAT). - You can take any number of Distribution courses, and the QRD requirement Pass/Fail, with permission of the instructor. (However, when the same course(s) are being used to fulfill a concentration or secondary field requirement, there may be limitations on Pass/Fail options – see above.) *Are you taking more than 1 course pass/fail this semester?* - If you are taking two (and especially 3) courses Pass/Fail in one term, this may have implications for graduate school or fellowship applications, or other honors (like PBK, etc.). You may wish to consult with someone who knows the grad school, fellowship, or honors criteria in your area of interest. *Pass-fail and GPA:* - If you pass a course taken Pass/Fail, this does not affect your GPA; the course will simply be listed on your transcript, and will count towards overall graduation requirements (of 128 credits). In order to pass, you need to earn a D- or above in the course. - However, please note that a grade of ‘Fail’ in a course taken Pass/Fail DOES impact the GPA. *Decided to Take Your Course Pass/Fail?* If, after reading the above information, you have decided to take a course graded P/F, please complete a form that Monique and I put together - here is the link: https://forms.gle/bx6nd5T52MbH8dyg8. In lieu of a meeting with Monique or me, the form lets you confirm that you have read and considered the implications of all the above information. Once you complete the form, and assuming all is in order, Monique will then approve your request in my.harvard! Please note: we need to have this entire process completed by the 5th Monday of the semester, which is on *October 5th* this fall. *Going From Pass/Fail to Letter Graded:* To take a course for a letter grade that is graded pass/fail by default (ex. CS 50) you can follow the steps found here <https://registrar.fas.harvard.edu/files/fas-registrar/files/students_change…>. There's no need for you to fill out the Google form mentioned in the information above. Once your request has been approved by your course instructor and academic advisor, Monique will finalize the request approval in my.harvard! We are, of course, happy to meet if you have questions or concerns or want to talk through any of the particulars. Here's a link to Monique's calendar <http://bit.ly/MR_appointments> and my calendar can be found here <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/selfsched?sstoken=UUVjVHBzbEg5TTZX…> .

Announcements for Students ON Campus: >From your Community Health Lead, Kate Leach, katherineleach(a)g.harvard.edu<mailto:katherineleach@g.harvard.edu> : 1) Starting THIS week, anyone who submits their Crimson Clear for all seven days in the week will be automatically entered into a raffle to win a FREE PIZZA! A whole, free pizza with the topping of your choice, delivered right to you!! No action necessary, other than submitting your Crimson Clear daily and I will see who has done it all 7 days! 2) I am recruiting students to help me plan pfun ways to use my Community Health Lead budget and give feedback on various College compliance protocols. If you're interested in being on the team, please email me at the link above and let me know! It requires almost no work other than coming up with fun ways to encourage compliance within our community and telling me what you think about how things are going in general and in relation to various policies. Hit me with all your best ideas and I will do my best to make them happen til the budget runs out! 3) Keep Your HEPA Filter On!: For students residing on campus, you may be wondering what those filter/fan units are doing in your room. They are HEPA filters, and when they run they purify the air of airborne aerosols that can carry the virus that causes COVID-19. These filters can keep you and others safe. Don't forget to turn your HEPA filter on and keep it on, especially in shared spaces, where it should be on the highest setting. For more information, contact your Building Manager or Yard Ops."
