Taking Courses S-D-R (Pass/Fail)

• If students choose to take a course S-D-R, they must make arrangements with St. Thomas, not with their overseas program. The student must contact a Study Abroad Advisor by fax or e-mail, and then take the course for a letter grade on the program or university abroad. St. Thomas will then record the appropriate S-D-R mark. If a student receives a letter grade of C- or above, the mark of S (satisfactory) will be given.
• Requests to take a course S-D-R must be made to International Education within the first five weeks after classes begin in the semester program abroad.
• To request S-D-R grading, complete the S-D-R Request Form and email it as an attachment from your UST email account to the International Education Center.
• International Education may grant approval for elective courses to be taken S-D-R. If the request is for a major or minor course, department chair approval is required. Core requirements may not be fulfilled using the S-D-R option.
• To contact a Study Abroad Advisor with questions, send an email to studyabroad@stthomas.edu.
