<p>I'm currently taking a course within my major and I'm not doing too well in there. Can I switch the course to a pass / no pass?</p>
<p>Wouldn’t that sort of policy be in the departmental handbook, or even on the syllabus?</p>
<p>That depends entirely on your college’s and department’s grading policies.</p>
<p>normally you can’t take required classes as pass/fail</p>
