Credit / No
Credit Grading Information (CR / NC)
This
policy is primarily governed by an Academic Senate resolution listed
below.
(Academic
Senate resolution AS-479-97/CC)
Each student
can elect to take up to a total of 16 units for credit. Classes
taken credit/no-credit do not have an impact on GPA. This option
refers to courses that are normally regular graded courses. (For
classes only offered as credit/no-credit, this does not apply.)
The student must have a 2.0 Cal Poly GPA. (First quarter/incoming
freshman are exempt from this GPA restriction.) The quarterly selection
of CR / NC cannot exceed more than 8 units or two classes.
Undergraduates:
If a "C-" or better is earned, the student will receive
credit (cr) for the course. If a "D+" or lower is earned,
the student will receive a no-credit (nc) for the course and units
will not be earned/given.
Graduate Students: If a "B-" or better is earned,
the student will receive credit (cr)for the course. If a "C+"
or lower is earned, the student will receive a no-credit (NC) for
the course and units will not be earned/given.
CR/NC Selection
Deadline
Students must make their credit / no-credit selections by the
deadline on the 8th day of instruction. For this specific date,
please refer to the 'Student Planning Calendar' for the appropriate
term.
Each student
is responsible for monitoring the requirements/limitations below:
- maximum of
4 units towards major/support area (student MUST have approval
from Major department)
- maximum of
4 units towards GE courses
- Remaining
units (to a maximum of 16) may be used for elective units.
IT IS THE STUDENT'S
RESPONSIBILITY to ensure that these limitations are met. The registration
system (CPReg) will not automatically restrict
the ability to inappropriately enroll in major, support and general
education courses on a credit/no credit basis.
If a student
is not qualified to take a class for credit/no-credit based on the
above requirements, and if a letter grade is required for degree
posting, the actual letter grade earned for the class will be reinstated
by the Evaluations Office. This will ONLY occur at the time of graduation/degree
posting. No exceptions.
