Having the first semester or first year for freshmen at RPI be "pass/no fail" was an idea brought up in the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee by a professor. The Student Senate has recognized this as a possibility in future years and is in the process of gathering feedback on this issue from students, particularly current freshmen. If you'd like to offer an opinion or get involved in the discussion on this issue, email the Academic Affairs Committee at academics@rpisenate.com or leusnj@rpi.edu for more details.
