Spring 2020 Pass/Fail Policy
This page outlines the temporary adjustments to the undergraduate pass/fail and withdrawal policies that were enacted in Spring 2020.
Undergraduate Students
In consideration of the extensive adjustments that faculty are making to deliver course content and the steps students are taking to equip themselves for new learning environments, we will institute the following temporary modifications to the undergraduate Pass/Fail (P/F) and Withdrawal policies for the Spring 2020 semester only:
Spring 2020 Undergraduate Pass/Fail Policy

Spring 2020 Undergraduate Withdrawal PolicyFor undergraduates, course withdrawal to a grade of “W” will be extended to the last day of the semester, Friday, May 1. Requirements to maintain full-time enrollment remain in effect. |
Spring 2020 Undergraduate Incomplete Grade PolicyFor Spring 2020 grades of “I” (incomplete), students may elect to change passing grades (D- or higher) to “P” (or from “P” to the earned grade) within one week of receiving the final grade. Elections may be made before, but must be made no later than one week after, the final grade is assigned by the professor. Students must email their elections to registrar@wm.edu from their W&M email address. Please include full name, ID#, course prefix, number, CRN. Please allow at least one business day for processing. |
Spring 2020 Undergraduate Transcript NotationA notation will be made on undergraduate transcripts for Spring 2020 explaining these temporary changes to academic policy. This should alleviate concerns about graduate admission, employment, or other future review. |
Graduate Students
Graduate students received guidance from their schools and programs regarding adjustments, if any, to grading modes and withdrawal dates. Please contact the appropriate Graduate Registrar if you have questions regarding their policies.
