Once the work has been completed, the instructor must complete and submit a Change of Record form. However, it is the student's responsibility to verify that the grade change was processed and is reflected properly on the transcript. A course taken for no credit cannot be used for fulfilling graduation requirements. Once a course has been taken for no credit it cannot be repeated for a grade. Students must petition before enrolling for any course no credit.
Students are still subject to tuition expenses when registering for no credit.
The primary purpose for offering the opportunity for a student to enroll in a course for a grade of P or F rather than the standard A, B, C, D, or F grade is to encourage students to broaden their educational experience by electing challenging courses without serious risk to the cumulative grade point average. At that time, they will be informed whether or not the course will satisfy degree requirements. A grade of F in a course will be recorded and the credit hours of the course will be used in the calculation of the student's grade point average just as is done with a grade of F in a normal registration. A course in which a grade of C- or better has been received may not be repeated. If a student takes the advanced course, it does not remove the obligation to repeat the prerequisite course, even if the grade earned in the advanced course is a C- or above .
