A Pass/Grade Option is available for students in District 230 for a maximum of one non-required course per semester. The guidelines are:
1. A student must declare his/her intention to use this option before the end of the first nine weeks of each semester by completing the appropriate form.
2. Students earning a grade of C or higher will receive a grade of “P” (pass). A student earning less than a “C” will receive the earned grade.
The Pass/Grade option is available during a student’s 11th and 12th grade year (Driver Education can be taken Pass/Grade at any grade level). The purpose of this option is to allow students the opportunity to take elective classes without the grade affecting his/her GPA (Grade Point Average).
