Top 10 Things to Know About the G/P/NC Option

Earning a P or NC in a course does NOT fulfill DEC, SBC, major, or minor requirements.
Earning a P counts toward the University requirements of 39 upper division credits and the total credits toward graduation.
You cannot G/P/NC a class that is S/U or A,B,C/U graded. These courses do not offer the G/P/NC option.
If you are a TAP recipient, note that if you earn a "P" in a course, it may affect your eligibility to receive TAP in future terms.
The G/P/NC option cannot be selected for 2nd or more attempts of the same course.
Did you know that you cannot withdraw from a class if that will result in less than 12 enrolled credits (if you are a full-time student)? In that situation, you might want to consider the G/P/NC option.
Talk to your professor about how you are doing in a course before deciding on an option. You might be doing better than you think!
The G/P/N/C option is available for only one course per semester.
Neither the P nor NC is factored into your GPA.
Make your decision by the semester deadline for G/P/NC and withdrawal, and speak to an academic advisor if you have any questions.
