Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) grades are used in field work, theses, projects, individual studies and directed reading and may be used in approved activity courses and workshops. An upper division student has the option of taking a maximum of 12 semester units outside the major (courses in support of and prerequisite to the major are also considered to be part of the major), the minor and general education on the basis of credit/no credit for courses normally graded A, B, C, D, F. If you elect this option, you must file a Credit/No Credit Option card at the Student Services Center. Check the calendar for deadlines.

You may accumulate a maximum of 60 semester units of Credit/No Credit grades toward a baccalaureate degree; exceptions to this may be made for experimental programs. If you are not eligible for the credit/no credit option, a letter grade will be assigned.
