<p>Pass/No Pass info:</p>
<p>You are allowed to take 4 units (one course) of GE classes Pass/No Pass, so yes, you could take third-semester French P/NP (but that would be the ONLY ge course you could take P/NP). P/NP grades are not calculated in your GPA, so there is no “grade equivalent” to a mark of “pass.”
Pass/No Pass Graded Work
A maximum of 24 units of undergraduate course work taken on a pass/no pass basis may be used toward an undergraduate degree and a maximum of 4 of these 24 units may be applied to the general education requirements. Use of pass/no pass course work to fulfill major requirements must be approved in writing by the academic department. Course work required for a minor may not be taken on a P/NP basis. Individual academic departments may have placed further restrictions on whether a course taken on a pass/no pass basis can be used to fulfill specific requirements. </p>
<p>In cases where a student has registered for a course on Pass/No Pass (P/NP) basis, and the student is subsequently found to have committed an academic integrity violation in the course, the instructor may elect to assign a penalty letter grade, rather than assign a mark of Pass or No Pass.
