Some schools use a Pass/D/Fail grading system rather than Pass/Fail. Rather than the binary grading system of Pass/Fail, this system has three possible outcomes. If you receive a C- or higher, you’ll “pass” the course. It will have no impact on your GPA and simply show up as a “Pass” on your transcript. You’ll receive credit for the course, and it’ll count towards your graduation progress.\r\rIf you receive an F in the course, you will fail the course. You won’t receive credit and the F will show up on your transcript. It will also impact your GPA, and typically have highly detrimental results. However, if you receive anywhere from a D+ to a D-, you’ll receive a D rather than a pass or fail. You’ll still receive credit for the course, but the “D” will show up on your transcript and impact your GPA. While this isn’t quite as bad as failing, it is still a situation you should avoid if possible.
