In May 2020, the Faculty approved changes to the Rules and Regulations of the Faculty that created the Flexible Pass/No Record grading option for undergraduates, beginning with first-year students entering in fall AY2021. The Committee on the Undergraduate Program was charged with reporting to the Faculty in AY2025 on the implications and consequences of this grading policy.
