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.
Affecting Your GPA. In most cases, a pass-fail course doesn't affect your GPA. If you pass the course, you receive a designation on your transcript that you passed the class, but your GPA doesn't reflect the points you would have received if you took the course on an A-to-F grading basis. If you fail the class, you don't receive credit for the course.
