A law student in good standing may elect to convert to a “pass” one letter grade earned in an elective course taken at William & Mary Law School subject to the following conditions:

1)  A student may not convert a grade earned in any required class, including a course taken to meet the writing requirement.

2)  The option to convert a grade must be exercised in the final semester of study (typically the spring semester of the third year).  The request for conversion should be submitted by the fifth week of the final semester and must be submitted by either Nov 1 or April 1 of the final semester.  The grade must have been earned after the first year and before the final semester of law school (ie, no required first-year grade may be converted nor a grade earned in the final semester of law school).

3)  Once exercised, the conversion is irrevocable.

4)  The option can only be exercised by submission of this form.

5)  A “pass” is defined as a grade of "C" or higher.

6)  In exercising this option, a student must adhere to any other restriction governing eligibility for earning pass-fail credits.
