Under the Pass/Fail system, a student will be given a P when a grade of C- or better is obtained or an F for a failing grade, but neither the P nor the F will affect the GPA. Students wishing to enrol in a module as Pass/Fail should complete the Pass/Fail form (available at the Student Affairs Office) and R E G U L A T I O N 3
