<p>Tomorrow is the last date to choose P/NP for the courses you are taking.

  • How many Ps can you have in your entire UCLA life?
  • Does it impact your future graduate school admissions?
  • I am having B grade right now, is it worth or not worth to just choose P/NP
  • Is there a fee that I need to pay for to choose P/NP?</p>

<ol>
<li>You can have as many P’s as you can fit into your schedule, although you are limited to 5 units worth each term (unless you skip a term, in which you are entitled to 10 the next with a maximum of 10 units p/np per term). Keep in mind you can only do P/NP on certain classes like GE’s and some college requirements, but not for major/minor requirements.</li>
<li>Yes, it impacts your future graduate school admissions if you have more than 2-3 I would say.</li>
<li>If you are confident you can get a B or higher, it’s probably better to just stick it out. Many times when grades are averaged for grad school admissions, officers often look at a P as a straight C.</li>
<li>Yes there is a fee involved, not sure of the amount.</li>
</ol>

<p>Speaking of which, I want to change a class to P/NP tomorrrow. Does anyone know the cost for doing it on the last day? The fee chart is very confusing. I’m not “changing my study list”, which I interpret to mean adding/dropping classes, but I am editing it so to speak. I’m thinking the fee is somewhere between 5-20, but I’m not sure. I really hope it’s not $50. If it’s $50, I may just talk to my professor who seems like a nice guy and try to weasel my way into making the final worth a greater percentage of my grade.</p>

<p>where did you see the fee chart?</p>

<p>I don’t know if my professor is a nice guy. :] But I think TA controls our grades. Also, it is going to be the last day tomorrow, should I just email my TA with “are you one of the nice guys?” haha.</p>

<p>Fee chart is on the registrar’s website.</p>

<p>Don’t be a ■■■■■■ and ask your TA if he will be nice to you in grading. Tonight, ask yourself what grade you think you will get in the class overall and whether you are able to live with it. If yes, study hard. If no, change to p/np.</p>
