The Pass/No Credit option allows you to take courses outside your curriculum or minor program.

Pass/No Credit Policies:

• Grade choices are “P” (Pass) or “NC” (Fail)
• Grade points will not be assigned and therefore not reflected in your GPA
• “NC” is a failing grade and can be cause for academic action
• You may take up to four courses as Pass/No credit

Pass/No Credit courses include:

• Free electives
• Two courses in the Science Core unless explicitly required by name
• Two courses in the HASS Core that are not part of the Depth or Pathways sequence or used to meet the Communication Intensive (CI) requirement

Pass/No Credit courses that are excluded:

• Courses required by name in your Major or required for a professional/technical/multidisciplinary/science elective or similarly designated subsets of courses (except where explicitly stated otherwise) to be applied toward your program curriculum
• Courses used towards your Minor
• A HASS course used towards your Pathway
• Courses at the 6000-level

How to add or drop a Pass/No Credit course:

• To add a Pass/No Credit course submit a Pass/No Credit Approval Form to the Office of the Registrar with your adviser's signature before the deadline listed on the academic calendar.
• To drop a Pass/No Credit course submit a Remove Pass/No Credit Designation Form before the deadline listed on the academic calendar.

Note: Graduate and non-matriculated students cannot take the Pass/No Credit option.
