Credit/No Credit & Pass/Fail Options

Students wishing to take courses as either  CR/NC or P/F must obtain the proper signatures on a Registration Form, then return that form to the Enrollment Services Center (ADM 230) for processing.

Credit/No-Credit Option

Students may elect to enroll in some courses on a credit/no-credit basis. Certain courses in the curriculum may be taken only on a credit/no-credit basis. The following provisions apply to courses taken on a credit/no-credit basis:

1. Special form requiring the signature of the student's advisor.
2. The designation CR will not be changed to a grade of A, B, C, or D.
3. The designation of CR and NC will not be used in calculating the grade point average.
4. The designation CR will be counted toward the total number of hours passed.

NOTE: Students intending to apply to law school should not take courses using the CR/NC option as most law schools interpret a CR as a "C" and an NC as an "F."

Pass/Fail Policy

To register for a class on a Pass/Fall basis, a student must have the signatures of his/her advisor and the instructor for the course.

1. Students may take only one course per semester for P/F credit. Students may take only three courses on a P/F basis during their undergraduate career at UT Tyler.
2. The P/F option is not permitted to be used in the Core Curriculum.
3. The P/F option may not be used for any course that fulfills a student's major or minor requirements, including those courses which are required by, but offered outside of, the major or minor department.
4. Students on academic probation may not enroll in a course on a P/F basis.
5. A course cannot be changed from a P/F basis to letter grade or vice versa after the first five class days.
6. A final grade of P will not be changed to a grade of A, B, C, or D.
7. A final grade of P will be counted in the total number of hours passed.
8. To be eligible for the President's or Dean's List, a student must take a minimum of 12 semester hours of graded credit; thus 9 graded credits and 3 P/F credits do not qualify for consideration. A student who earns an "F" in a pass/fail course is not eligible for President's or Dean's List in the term in which the grade is assigned, regardless of the number of credits taken or gpa earned.

NOTE: Students intending to apply to law school should not take courses using the P/F option as most law schools interpret a "P" (passing) as a "D" or "C."
