In an effort to encourage students to work directly with their academic advisor around the decision to take Pass-No Pass marks, a website was created to provide students with key considerations they should review and bring up with their advisor. The Pass-No Pass Considerations to Discuss with Your Advisor site is housed on the Academic Success Center site, but can be linked on individual school and college sites, in emails to students, and in email signatures and time-away messages. Feedback, updates or questions on the site can be sent to Kate Bernas (ab9599).
