(A) Conditions (Undergraduate)
(1) Credit and Grade--Under such regulations as the Division may determine, a student in good standing is authorized to undertake up to an average of four units per quarter on a Passed/Not Passed basis (see exception in (3) below). A grade of Passed shall be awarded only for work which would otherwise receive a grade of C (2.0) or better. Units thus earned shall be counted in satisfaction of degree requirements, but such courses shall be disregarded in determining a student's grade point average.
(2) Passed/Not Passed Only Courses--With the approval of the Committee on Courses, academic units may designate undergraduate courses to be graded Passed/Not Passed Only. Approval will be given only when the unit demonstrates that it is educationally necessary for the course to be graded Passed/Not Passed Only. These Passed/Not Passed Only courses will be marked on the student's transcripts.
(3) Passed/Not Passed Exceptions--In addition to the courses authorized in (1), candidates for the Bachelor's degree may undertake 12 units in courses that are designated Passed/Not Passed Only by an academic unit. (B) Credit Restriction (Graduate)
Graduate students may take one course per quarter on a Passed/Not Passed basis. These courses may not be applied toward degree requirements. (C) Passed/Not Passed Notification
Students must notify the Registrar at the time of enrollment in classes of their intention to take a course under the Passed/Not Passed option. Changes to or from Passed/Not Passed can be made after the tenth day of instruction in each quarter only with the approval of the appropriate dean (or equivalent). (D) Passed/Not Passed and Academic Probation
A student on academic probation may not enroll in a course on a Passed/ Not Passed basis unless the course is offered on that basis only. (E) Passed/Not Passed (Graduation and Major Requirements)
Courses taken under the Passed/Not Passed option may count toward the 180-unit requirement for graduation and toward all breadth requirements. With the exception of courses offered Passed/Not Passed Only, courses taken Passed/Not Passed may not be used to satisfy specific course requirements of academic units, unless authorized by the appropriate dean (or equivalent).
