The responsibility of approval, as well as special regulations affecting the option, rests with the dean of the student’s school or division—under procedures which the school or division establishes. Instructors of undergraduate students are not notified of students registering for this option. A grade of P cannot be subsequently changed to a grade of A, B, C, or D. |
