​
​
It is important when making the decision to take a course P/NP or for a letter grade that you keep in mind the following: 
  • To receive a "P" (Pass) and to get credit/units, you must earn a grade of "C" or better. However, if a course is taken for a letter grade, the minimum grade needed for credit would be at least a "D-" in most courses. This is especially important to note for graduating students who are trying to fulfill their last requirements to graduate. You will need to weigh the risk of taking a course P/NP and not receiving any credit if your earn the equivalent to a C- grade or lower.
  • If you are planning to change your major or add a double major, you will be responsible for adhering to the corresponding School’s P/NP policy. 
  • If you are retaking a course that was originally for a LETTER GRADE, you must retake the course for a LETTER GRADE ONLY - there are no exceptions.
  • P/NP courses will not affect your GPA, including your major GPA. If your UCI and/or major GPA are below a 2.0, getting a P will not raise your GPA.
  • We recommend that you see how you are doing in the courses throughout the quarter. You have until 5 PM on Friday of Week 10 to submit a request to change the grade option of a non-major course.  (Grade option changes will not be considered after that time – there are no exceptions.) 
  • Graduate/Professional school programs make their own determination as to how they assess courses taken as P/NP for their admissions purposes. You will need to check with those programs directly.
  • EDUC 179W can be taken for P/NP to complete the upper division writing requirement only. EDUC 179W must be taken for a letter grade if course is taken to complete an Education Sciences elective requirement.

WHAT WAS THE PASS/NO PASS POLICY FOR FALL QUARTER 2020?
 The Academic Senate at UCI, which governs academic regulations at UC Irvine, has authorized adjustments to existing undergraduate regulations on Pass/No Pass grades (P/NP) for the Fall 2020 quarter as follows:
  • All undergraduate courses will offer P/NP grading as an option. It is the student’s choice as to whether they wish to take the course for letter grade or P/NP.
  • Academic deans and departments are encouraged, but not required, to allow courses taken P/NP to fulfill school and major requirements.
  • Students will be able to change their grade options, both letter grade to P/NP and P/NP to letter grade through November 25th, the day before the Thanksgiving holiday.
  • Courses taken P/NP will not count toward the 12-unit overall graduation cap on these courses.
  • Students on academic probation may enroll in courses with the P/NP option in the Fall 2020 term.

Please note: The Senate recently extended these adjustments to allow students to take certain Writing courses—Writing 37, 39A, and 39AP—on a P/NP basis.
​

The UCI Registrar’s Office has put together pertinent information related to the Fall 2020 P/NP here: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Questions related to courses taken in Spring/Summer 2020, please refer to the Spring/Summer P/NP FAQ for information.

PLEASE NOTE: For FALL QUARTER 2020 the School of Education will allow courses taken for a "P" (Pass) to count towards Major Requirements that normally need to be taken for a letter grade. It is important when making the decision to take a course P/NP or for a letter grade that you keep in mind the following:
  • To receive a "P" (Pass) and to get credit/units, you must earn a grade of "C" or better. However, if a course is taken for a letter grade, the minimum grade needed for credit would be at least a "D-" in most courses. This is especially important to note for graduating students who are trying to fulfill their last requirements to graduate. You will need to weigh the risk of taking a course P/NP and not receiving any credit if your earn the equivalent to a C- grade or lower.
  • Writing courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better (or a "P" if taking the course for P/NP).
  • If you are retaking a course that was originally for a LETTER GRADE, you must retake the course for a LETTER GRADE ONLY - there are no exceptions.
  • P/NP courses will not affect your GPA, including your major GPA. If your UCI and/or major GPA are below a 2.0, getting a P will not raise your GPA.
  • We recommend that you see how you are doing in the courses throughout the quarter. You have until Wednesday of Week 8 (November 25th) to change the grade option of a course.  (No grade option changes can be made after that time.)
  • Graduate/Professional school programs make their own determination as to how they assess courses taken as P/NP for their admissions purposes. You will need to check with those programs directly.

WHY ISN'T THE PASS/NO PASS COURSE SHOWING UP ON MY DEGREEWORKS?
If you choose to take a major or School requirement for Pass/No Pass in Spring, Summer, or Fall 2020, it might not show up on your DegreeWorks, but the course DOES still count for the requirement. Please reach out to educadvising@uci.edu for assistance. ​​
WHAT COURSES CANNOT BE TAKEN AS PASS/NO PASS?
The Pass/No Pass option will NOT be approved in the following instance:
  • If you are retaking a course you previously took for a letter grade. You cannot repeat a letter grade for Pass/No Pass.
  • If you are taking a course for a major in another school, be sure to consult that school for Pass/No Pass policies.
