Policy Statement
Sophomores, juniors and seniors in good standing may elect to take one course per semester on a credit/no credit (CR/NC) basis. The credit/no credit option may not be used for courses in the major nor the minor, nor for courses taken to fulfill the general degree requirements. Students may not elect this option when they are repeating a course.
The credit/no credit option must be elected at the time of initial registration for a term and cannot be changed subsequently. A grade of C‐ or better must be earned to earn credit; D and F grades receive no credit. Grades of CR or NC do not earn grade points and they do not affect the grade‐point average. Courses elected on this option are subject to regular academic regulations, including course load, withdrawal, etc.
The credit/no credit option is not available for students pursuing a bachelor of liberal arts degree.
