Pass/No Pass Guidelines

You can request a P/NP grade through the completion of the course.

However, there can be drawbacks to choosing Pass/No Pass. Some transfer universities may not accept Pass grades for credit or major requirements, and you will not be allowed to repeat a class at 17�Թ� after receiving a Pass grade.

Once the term begins, you must submit the completed to the Admissions & Records Office. We highly recommend you speak with a counselor before making the change to P/NP. Once the request is made, you cannot revert to a letter grade.

The deadline to submit a P/NP request is on the last date of the term.

Rules for Pass/No Pass Grading

17�Թ� offers Pass/No Pass grading for a number of courses, as authorized by California law (Title V) and the 17�Թ�-De Anza Community College District board of trustees.

Some courses are designated in the catalog as Pass/No Pass (P/NP) courses. In those courses, a letter grade is not available. Among these classes are those with a “single satisfactory standard of performance for which unit credit is assigned.” (See Section 51302 of Title V.)
For other courses, you may select the Pass/No Pass option instead of a letter grade.
Once you select the Pass/No Pass option, the resulting grade is final.
You may not apply more than 30 units of credit earned with a Pass (P) grade toward an Associate iin Arts degree.
In most cases, you may not apply a Pass (P) grade toward your major requirements, unless your major division lists a Pass/No Pass (P/NP) course on its curriculum sheets.
Pass/No Pass grades are not used to calculate grade point averages. However, a grade of No Pass (NP) can be considered in probation and dismissal procedures. You can learn more by reading the Policy on Standards for Probation. (This Policy is currently suspended until December 2022).
