CU NROTC Pass/Fail policy for students will be as follows:
- All Naval Science Courses must be taken as A-F option.
- If taking Physics or Calculus to meet NROTC requirements, these courses shall be taken as A-F option.
- All other courses can be taken as the MIDN choose provided they make adequate progress towards their degree.
- Those that are already on Academic Probation or LOA are required to take courses as an A-F option.
- MIDN are still required to make adequate progress towards their degree.
- All courses taken to fulfill NROTC requirements for American History / National Security Policy, World Culture and Regional Studies, and English shall be taken as A-F option.
- All of this policy applies to summer 2020 classes
- Advanced standing students ONLY:
- Classes taken to fulfill NROTC physical science or Math requirement shall be taken as an A-F option.
- This means that if you are a MIDN on Advanced Standing and are NOT taking Calculus and Physics to meet the NROTC Math/Science requirement, then whatever Math and Physical Science course you are taking to fulfill the requirement must be taken as A-F option.
