Grading Rules
In general, only free electives may be taken pass/fail. Courses fulfilling core or major/minor/certificate requirements must be taken for a letter grade (unless the course is only offered on a pass/fail basis). Students may take courses in core curriculum fields of study as electives, on a pass/fail basis, after they have already fulfilled that core requirement. Similarly, students who wish to take a course in their major or minor field of study on a pass/fail basis may do so only after all requirements for that major or minor have been fulfilled. Those seeking an exception to this rule must consult the relevant director of undergraduate studies or program director. If the pass/fail option is approved by exception, the course will not, under any circumstances, count in the major or minor.

Notes for SFS Students
- At most two courses can be double-counted between the SFS Economics Core and the Economics Minor. i.e. Students who take ECON 1001 and 1002 (or fulfill either or both by AP or other credits) will double-count these with the Minor, and will not be able to double-count ECON-2542/2543/2544 [formerly ECON 242/243/244].
- Students who take ECON-1003 will double-count this with the Minor, and additionally double-count one course among ECON-2542/2543/2544.
- No courses may double-count between a major and a minor.
- Students who take one of the statistics courses above to fulfill a major requirement will be required to take another additional economics elective for the Minor.
