| Orfalea College of Business students may not take any major, concentration, or support class Credit/No Credit. If you do, it will be changed to a grade when your graduation evaluation is completed. |
Credit / No Credit Limitations
- A total of 16 units may be taken as Credit / No Credit grading
- Of the 16 total, 4 units maximum in GE courses (which generally means only one GE class)
- Cal Poly cumulaive GPA of at least 2.0
- Maximum of 2 courses can be taken CR/NC per quarter
- Classes with CR/NC grading normally (ex. PE 109) are NOT counted against your CR/NC units
It is the student's responsibility to ensure that these limitations are met. The registration systems (CAPTURE & POWER) will not automatically restrict the ability to enroll in major, support and general education courses on a CR/NC basis.
All changes in grading method must be completed by the end of the third week of the term. All student initated updates regarding CR/NC grading must be done on POWER or CAPTURE prior to the above deadline.
- You may receive CREDIT for a grade of C- or above.
- You will receive NO CREDIT for a grade of D+ and lower.
For general information on CR/NC policy see the Office of Academic Records' Credit / No Credit Grading Information (CR / NC)
