Do credit/no credit grades transfer? Do “D” grades or “Ws”?
In some classes you can choose the Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) grading option rather than a letter grade. The deadline to notify your instructor that you prefer the CR/NC grade option is on the semester calendar in the schedule of classes. Grades of CR and NC are not factored into your GPA. A CR is a passing grade indicating satisfactory completion of course requirements. A NC grade is not a passing grade but will not hurt your GPA.This grading option is not intended for courses required by your major. Transfer students should meet with a counselor prior to taking math or English composition courses via the CR/NC grading option. Generally, math and English composition courses should be taken for letter grade.For AA/AS degrees, up to twelve semester units may be CR grades instead of letter grades.Acceptance of “D” grades is based upon individual campus decisions. Butte College will not certify “D” grades for inclusion in the IGETC.
