Due to the adoption of online learning mode from September 1-21, 2020 (and “dual” mode thereafter), the University gives all undergraduate students the special assessment option of pass/fail grading and late drop in semester 1, 2020-21.

The choice of pass/fail grading brings the obvious benefit of excluding from GPA calculation the course in which you have less confidence. However, there are also some DOWNSIDES, some of them very significant in particular situation, which you must consider very carefully before making your decision.
