The pass/fail grading system is an alternative to a letter grading system in higher education courses. Students who receive a C or higher grade typically will pass the course under this system, while those who receive a D or F will fail.Sometimes only an F means failure.he pass/fail system arguably puts less pressure on students and allows them to relax and study without obsessing about achieving a high letter grade. This also permits students to become more exploratory in the courses they choose to take.
