I am aware of subjects that are already graded on a P/D/F basis. How is this new graduate P/D/F option any different?
Prior to the proposal for a graduate P/D/F option, certain subjects such as seminars have been designated as P/D/F in the course catalog, meaning that all students who take these subjects will be graded on a P/D/F basis. The site http://student/catalog/search.cgi?search=p%2Fd%2Ff&style=verbatim lists some of the subjects that are graded solely on a P/D/F basis. We use the phrase P/D/F option to emphasize the elective nature of this proposed new option for graduate students. Each term, students can choose to use the P/D/F option for at most one subject, but subjects designated as P/D/F in the course catalog will not count towards this one-subject limit.
