If a school changes the grading scale to Pass/No Pass or Credit/No Credit, it will not affect a student’s admission to Gonzaga University.
Gonzaga does not convert “Pass” grades or include it in a cumulative grade point average.
International students are required to submit English proficiency exam scores that meet Gonzaga’s admission requirement. However, in recognition of the COVID-19 pandemic’s global impact, Gonzaga will accept the Duolingo English Test for summer and fall 2021 applicants.
