Pass or Fail Option

The Morris Hills Regional District Board of Education believes that students should have the opportunity to pursue certain courses under a pass/fail arrangement and therefore, established the following: 

1. Any student may enroll for one elective non-requirement course on a pass/fail basis for a maximum of 5 credits per year. 

2. All courses that are not oversubscribed should be available. 

3. The student taking a course on a pass/fail basis must do all of the regularly assigned work, attend all classes, and take all examinations. The student however, will be graded with a P or F and not given a numerical grade. The student receives credit for a course passed, and no credit for one failed. The pass/fail class is not included in class rank/G.P.A. 

4. Teachers will make no distinction between pass/fail students and regularly enrolled students. They will require neither more nor less work from pass/fail students. This option should encourage students to elect courses in which they are interested, but for which they have had so little background that they would otherwise have decided not to register for the course. 

5. Students must obtain a pass/fail option form from their School Counselor and secure the approval of their parent or guardian. The form must be returned to the School Counseling Office no later than the last school day in September. A student may not change from regular enrollment to pass/fail after this date, nor may one change from pass/fail to regular graded enrollment after this date 

Deadline to apply to take a course on a Pass/Fail option is Friday, September 15, 2023
