If you are not satisfied with your assigned standing, you are encouraged to first discuss your standing with your course instructor, when possible.
If you still believe that your assigned standing has not been correctly evaluated, you may apply for a Review of Assigned Standing (RAS):
In the online application, you will also be required to include all course materials related to your current assigned standing. Some course materials such as live performances, live presentations, graduate-level theses, doctoral dissertations, or class participation are not eligible for review.
The Credit/D/Fail (Cr/D/F) grading policy was created to encourage students’ curiosity and learning in subjects outside of their own programs of study and to introduce them to diverse fields.
The policy was supported by the AMS Council and approved by UBC Vancouver Senate in March 2009.
The Credit/D/Fail option is available to students in some direct-entry undergraduate programs of study. They can take eligible elective courses and receive Credit, D, or Fail standing instead of percentage grades.
