<Title>Pass/Fail Policies for Econ/FIEC Major, Minor Requirements</Title>
<Tagline>Spring 2020 Semester</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <div>The Department of Economics Policy regarding whether courses completed with a grade of "P" in Spring, 2020 will meet requirements for <span>the ECON BA, the  FIEC B.S., Econ minors, and Accounting Certificates is as follows. </span>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Courses  taken in Spring, 2020 which are NOT required prerequisites for</div>
    <div><div><span><div>other courses can count towards the ECON, FIEC, and any Econ minor as well as  both accounting certificates if completed with</div>
    <div>a grade of P.     </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>For courses taken in Spring, 2020 that are required prereqs for other courses, they will have to be completed with <span>a grade of at least "C" to count towards our ECON,FIEC, and any Econ minor and accounting certificate requirements. </span>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Here is a list of the courses based on this criteria that  must be completed with a grade</div>
    <div>of "C" or higher to count towards Econ and Accounting program requirements:</div>
    <div><br></div></span></div></div>
    <blockquote><div><div><span><div><strong>Econ 101</strong></div></span></div></div></blockquote>
    <blockquote><div><div><span><div><strong>Econ 102</strong></div></span></div></div></blockquote>
    <blockquote><div><div><span><div><strong>Econ 121</strong></div></span></div></div></blockquote>
    <blockquote><div><div><span><div><strong>Econ 122</strong></div></span></div></div></blockquote>
    <blockquote><div><div><span><div><strong>Econ 311</strong></div></span></div></div></blockquote>
    <blockquote><div><div><span><div><strong>Econ 312</strong></div></span></div></div></blockquote>
    <blockquote><div><div><span><div><strong>Math 151</strong></div></span></div></div></blockquote>
    <blockquote><div><div><span><div><strong>Math 155</strong></div></span></div></div></blockquote>
    <blockquote><div><div><span><div>
    <strong>Stat 350, 351, 355, 453, or </strong><strong>CMPE 320, or Econ 310</strong>
    </div></span></div></div></blockquote>
    <blockquote><div><div><span><div><strong>Econ 374</strong></div></span></div></div></blockquote>
    <blockquote><div><div><span><div><strong>Econ 301</strong></div></span></div></div></blockquote>
    <div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>It is recommended that each student consult with their faculty adviser regarding whether to take  a grade of "P" rather <span>than a letter grade for Spring, 2020 courses.  Here are some general considerations on whether to take a grade of "P" </span><span>rather than a letter grade for a particular course.</span>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <span><div>Because of the special arrangement for this semester, you will know what your letter <span>grade will be if you don't choose to take the course with a P for all of your Spring, 2020 courses.  </span><span>It should be  obvious that if you get an A in a course, it would make no sense to take a P instead.  For a course in which you </span><span>get a D, you would probably want to take a P to keep up your GPA at 2.0.  For a course in which you get a C, taking the letter </span><span>grade would help make sure that your GPA is at least at 2.0 and it would also count toward major requirements; however, you </span><span>may want to take a  P for this course in order to keep your GPA above a 2.0.     </span>
    </div></span><div><span><br></span></div>
    <div>
    <span>For a course in which you get a B </span><span>there are competing considerations:  You may want to take a P in that course if you are aiming to keep your </span><span>GPA above a 3.0;  however, taking a P could signal to some that you </span><span>expected to get a grade of C or D rather than an A or B which signal you may want to avoid.  So  the decision </span><span>on taking a P rather than a B  would be how important maintaining your GPA above a 3.0 is.   </span>
