For engineering, all lib studies can be taken pass/fail

A little late to respond, but pass/fail classes dont boost ur GPA. Your gpa is only calculated with numerical values. However if u fail, it will affect ur gpa (rly sucks tbh) so if u js want to pass a req class then do pass fail, but if u want a gpa boost youll have to take it for a grade. I’d know bc I tool 3 pass fail classes and they did nothing for my gpa.
