Quick urgent question about grade

Parents Forum

<p>My son is registering for the spring semester and noticed that some classes have the designation “OFFERED ON THE LETTER-GRADE BASIS ONLY” in the class description. Can someone please explain what this means? All classes end up with a letter-grade, so…what’s the difference? He’s at UT.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Perhaps it is the case that some classes allow students to PDF (Pass, Grade D, or Fail), and this class does not.</p>

<p>Just a stab. No Pass/Fail?</p>

<p>There are classes out there that are not taken for a grade. Sometimes an institutition allows students to audit a class or to take it on a pass/fail basis.<br>
I would presume that’s the distinction they are trying to make. </p>

<p>I hope that helps you know what question to ask. Have you looked at the school’s Registrar’s Office web site? </p>

<p>Good luck! </p>

<p>Ah, that must be it. He needed to know now because he has a window tonight to change some classes.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
