Pass/No Credit Grading Option

This option is designed to encourage students to explore areas of study outside their majors. Students may choose to take one P/NC course each academic year at Whitworth. Core courses, courses in the student's major or area of concentration, and education courses are excluded from this option. Students may elect to take PE activity courses Pass/No Credit. A grade of Pass will be assigned in a P/NC course on the basis of a grade of "C" or higher. A grade of No Credit will be assigned in a P/NC course on the basis of a grade of "C-" or lower. Once a P/NC has been declared, it is irreversible. Check the academic calendar for the deadline to declare P/NC. The term "Satisfactory/Not Satisfactory" is commonly used for grading internships, study programs, and specific non-graded courses.
