Both grades, Pass and No Pass, are considered neutral grades in the computation of grade point averages, i.e. credit hours for Pass, though earned, will not be included in grade point averaging, and credit hours for No Pass simply will not be earned. Pre-professional students who plan to apply for admission to professional schools such as law or medicine after completion of an undergraduate degree are advised that courses taken on the Pass/No Pass option may hinder admission possibilities when grade point average is a major consideration. For advice, the student should consult the admissions office of the professional school where they intend to apply.
Before enrolling in courses on the Pass/No Pass option, students should consult with their advisers or personnel in college offices to be certain of approved enrollment.
Students may change enrollment in a course by the add/drop procedure to or from the Pass/No Pass option through the end of the second week of a regular semester or the first week of a summer session in Enrollment Services. College and/or adviser approval should be obtained prior to any change.
To prevent discrimination in grading, the student’s choice of P/NP grading will not be made known to the instructor of a course. The grade will be automatically assigned at the end of the course on the basis of the letter grade submitted by the instructor. The lowest letter grade required to receive a P grade in a course will be C.
