Election of the audit option must be done at the point of registration for the course or within the add/drop deadline for adding a course. Permission to audit must be obtained in writing from the instructor of each course.
The Associate Provost for Undergraduate Studies assigns and processes all changes of advisors. Students must consult with their advisors before making course selections. Course change forms must be signed by advisors prior to submission to the Office of the Registrar.

Pass is equivalent to any grade from A through C- as normally interpreted at Goucher College. A grade of P or NP will have no effect on a student's grade point average. Students who wish to switch from pass/no pass to graded status may do so up until week 10 of the semester (week three of seven week courses.)
Registration for the spring semester is held in November and registration for fall is held in April. Current students should select courses during the advising period (see Important Dates for Students ).

All GCR’s are satisfied with a grade of “D-” or “P” (or better). Students should be aware that for the foreign language and culture sequence a grade of “C-” or better must be received in the 110- and 120-levels in order to advance to the next course level (120, 130, 132, or 133).

Students must apply for CWP by submitting a portfolio during the designated portfolio review periods.

As members of this learning community, students will be exposed to a variety of perspectives in order to develop a sense of respect for differing viewpoints, to learn the value of individual responsibility, and to understand the importance of personal accountability. Students will have the opportunity to build community, develop relationships with peers, and discover their sense of place at Goucher. Successful completion of the course is a graduation requirement for all students except Goucher II students, who are exempt from this requirement.
