Credit/No Credit
Policy
A student may elect to be graded on a scale of CR (credit) or NC (no credit)
instead of on a scale of A, B, C, D, or F as provided below. (Per University
Senate Rules and Regulations 2.2.8 effective Fall 2000).
- Students seeking the credit/no credit option in a semester-long course must
register their choice in their dean's office (The College Student Academic
Services Office for CLAS students) during the 21st through the 30th instructional
days of the semester. Retroactive application of the Credit/No Credit option
after this deadline is not allowed. In all eight-week courses, including summer
session, students must choose credit/no credit during the 11th through the
15th instructional day. In courses of other duration, students must choose
credit/no credit during the week that 40 percent of the class sessions have
been completed. In courses shorter than one week, students must choose credit/no
credit before the first class session.
- The student shall not take this option in his or her declared major or minor
and shall have the choice on only one option per semester. At the close of
the option period, the student cannot alter his or her option.
- The grade of CR (credit) will be received for grades of A, B, and C. The
grade of NC (no credit) will be received for grades of D and F.
- The instructor will not be informed when a student has chosen this option,
and will assign a conventional letter grade, which will then be converted
by the University Registrar to CR or NC as appropriate.
- Courses graded CR or NC will not count in computing grade point average.
Courses graded CR will be included in the total hours counted toward graduation;
courses graded NC will not count as hours earned.
- Important Information handout.
