If you are considering electing the p/d/f option for a spring 2024 course, the **new** deadline to elect the p/d/f option is April 29, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. EDT (note that, unlike in past semesters, this is NOT the same date as the W deadline)
**Special note for May grads -- you cannot uncover grades of P from a course taken during your last semester.
Also, reminder that courses taken p/d/f this year are subject to the current rules. Read all about p/d/f rules on the Registrar's website:
To elect the P/D/F Grading option:
NEW process as of fall 2023:
Barnard students will use SSOL to elect P/D/F grading
-Click here to elect a Fall 2023 course for P/D/F grading. (Use a browser other than Safari).
-Click on P/D/F grading then Grading Option Change Request.
This form can be used to elect Pass/D/Fail for a course where that option is not available in SSOL.
To undo/ revoke your p/d/f election - or switch the election to a different class (this must be done prior to the P/D/F grading deadline):
-Go to ssol.columbia.edu and go to Pass/D/Fail Uncover.
FAQ: I tried to elect the p/d/f option in SSOL but there's a note saying P/D/F is unavailable? Does this mean I can't p/d/f this class????
A: No! If P/D/F is unavailable in SSOL, you can still p/d/f your course -- you just need to use this Slate form.
Some classes may not have p/d/f available in SSOL, but this does NOT mean you can't take the class p/d/f -- the only reason you would not be allowed to take something p/d/f would be if you need it for a major or minor requirement.
