POLICY

Certain courses offered at the College may be graded on a credit or no-credit basis instead of a letter grade. The College may at its discretion provide a “Passed/Not Passed” option in extreme situations (such as a health pandemic) that may impact students’ successful term completion. A student agreeing to the option of a course being graded on a credit or no-credit basis cannot later change to the option of a letter grade; other parameters may apply.

POLICY GUIDELINES

The grade of “P” will be recorded when a grade of “D” or higher is earned on a credit or no-credit basis. Credit hours earned will count toward graduation requirements (except programs that require coursework with a minimum grade policy). The grade point average will not be affected. The grade of “NP” will be recorded to indicate the course was not passed. Hours of “NP” will not count toward graduation and the grade point average will also not be affected.

No grade other than “P” or “NP” will be kept on file and students may encounter difficulty in receiving transfer credit from other institutions for courses taken on a credit/no-credit basis. Zane State College will only accept “P” grades as transfer credit if earned during spring of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
