S/U Option for Courses
If you have junior standing or senior standing, you may choose to take one course per term under the S/U (Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory) option, to a maximum of four courses. Note that in order to be classified as junior standing, you must be a degree-seeking student and have earned at least 60 credit hours.
What Courses Can and Cannot Be Taken As S/U Option?
Any undergraduate course, except as noted below, may be taken with the S/U option. All full-time, half-time and less-than-half-time Continuous Enrollment sections (for graduate students) will be graded with the S/U option.
Any course taken to fulfill Core of Common Studies requirements, major or minor requirements may not be taken with the S/U option. Upper division (100 level) courses taken for graduate credit may not be taken with the S/U option.
Students in the College of Business Administration may not take any course offered by the College of Business Administration with the S/U option.
All students are strongly encouraged to consult with your college office prior to requesting the S/U option.
S or U Grades Assigned
Instructors will be informed when you have selected the S/U option. At midterm and at the end of the term, you will receive either an S or U grade.
S — Satisfactory is to be awarded for achievement equivalent to the letter grades of A, AB, B, BC or C.
U — Unsatisfactory is to be awarded for achievement equivalent to the letter grades of CD, D or F.
