How to Select the Grade/Pass/No Credit (G/P/NC) Option

Important Information About the G/P/NC Option

1. Earning a P or NC in a course does NOT fulfill DEC, SBC, major, or minor requirements.
2. Earning a P counts toward the University requirements of 39 upper division credits and the total credits toward graduation.
3. You cannot G/P/NC a class that is S/U or A,B,C/U graded.
4. If you are a TAP recipient, "P" grades are accepted as degree applicable credits as of Fall 2024.
5. The G/P/NC option cannot be selected for 2nd or more attempts of the same course.
6. The G/P/N/C option is available for only one course per semester.
7. Neither the P nor NC is factored into your GPA.
8. View the Academic Calendar for the deadline to select the G/P/NC option. Students are not eligible to petition to change their G/P/NC selection after the deadline has passed.

Is the G/P/NC option right for you?

• For financial impact, academic impact, or eligibility concerns, we strongly recommend that you meet with your academic advisor to see if the G/P/NC option is right for you.

• If you are a veteran or the dependent of a veteran receiving benefits from the GI bill, earning a "P" or "NC" grade will have a significant financial impact. Speak with the Office of Veteran Affairs if you are considering the G/P/NC option.
