Updated Pass/Not Pass policy - decide soon
In response to the coronavirus pandemic in Spring 2020, Iowa State University has adopted a temporary P/NP grading option for courses impacted by the transition to virtual instruction. This temporary policy will apply to courses that were designated to be taught in person or fully online at the start of Spring 2020 semester.

An email went out to undergraduate students this morning explaining questions you may want to ask yourself when deciding on pass/no pass options.

The biggest recommendation is to take action between May 13 and May 19, 2020.

How you take action depends on if you're taking undergraduate courses or graduate courses. Read the policies for more information.

You must take action between May 13 and May 19, 2020 by clicking on a link in Access+. If no form is submitted, the letter grade will be recorded for the course. See the complete policy for more details.

Other procedures apply if you wish to change a course to P/NP, but action must still be taken between May 13 and May 19, 2020. Please read the complete policy for more information on the process.
