P/NP (Pass/No Pass)

A student has two options on how to apply for Pass/No Pass:

1. In the Current Students pod select the option on the left that says Quick References for Students.  You will then want to select College Forms.  Scroll down until you come to the Pass/No Pass option, select the form, then print.  You can either fax this form, bring it in or mail it to the college.  The form will need to be received by the deadline date or it will not be processed.  You can refere to your printed class schedule for individul class deadline dates.
2. The student can come into the Admissions office to complete the Pass/No Pass form and submit it to an Admissions Technician. 

A student may enroll in most courses with the option of one of two grading systems: (1) letter grade (A-F) or (2) Pass/No Pass (P/NP), formerly (CR/NC). The student must elect the P/NP option no later than the first 30% point of the class. The deadline to file P/NP for a full-term or short-term class is 30% of the class. If 30% falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline to file P/NP forms in the Admissions Office is the preceding business day. (Forms are available in the Admissions Office or online at www.mjc.edu. Unless otherwise stated by "GR'' or (P/NP), all courses are offered with a choice of letter grade or P/NP option.

Because transfer institutions often do not accept P/NP grades in a student's major, the college recommends that courses in the major be taken for a letter grade.

Instructors are required to give all students who complete the course a letter grade (A-F), regardless of student choice, unless the course is offered only for P/NP grading.

None of the units attempted under the P/NP grading option are used in computing the student's grade point average. However, units attempted for which (NP) is recorded are counted in determining progress probation and progress dismissal.

Fourteen units of P/NP may be used toward graduation. An evaluation on a "P/NP" basis may not later be changed to a letter grade, nor may the reverse occur. (Section 55752 Title V, Effective Spring 1985.)

CAUTION: Some schools may consider "NP" the same as "F".
