Free
elective courses may be taken on a pass/fail basis. However, students
generally are allowed to take only one pass/fail course per
semester. CRJU 495 (Field Experience) is a pass/fail course which
counts as a free elective. But since CRJU 495 is offered as a
pass/fail course only, CRJU 495 students may take another free
elective course on a pass/fail basis in the same semester.
