Psychology Department

W3.CSS
Petition Option Available

Current Policy

Formal department policy remains unchanged - students ordinarily may not P/F a class for the major. However, students may petition the department for P/F. The department will consider petitions for exemptions to department policy - like P/F - for students on a case-by-case basis.

Policy Statement

The UG Studies in Psychology program has always had a policy of allowing students to petition to have requirements waived. That is still our policy. We will continue to consider each case individually on its merits.
