The last day to change a course to Pass/Fail or R Grade is listed in the Academic Calendar. This deadline is strictly enforced.
Your choice is permanent after the deadline. You cannot go back to a letter grade after the deadline. You cannot retake the course to get a letter grade.
Pass/Fail: If you get a Pass, the grade will not affect your GPA. If you FAIL, the F will be the same as getting an F in any course. Read about the GSAS grading system HERE.
