Under the Credit/D/Fail rules that began with the class of '09, all courses can be taken Credit/D, but any course take Credit/D will not count toward your distribution requirements. Different majors have different rules about how many Credit/D courses can count toward your major. In any case, you can receive credit for at most 4 Credit/D classes while at Yale, and can take no more than 2 in any semester. The Credit/D option can be dropped, as T26E4 indicates, until about 2 weeks after midterm. Since you have to choose Credit/D at the beginning of the semester in order to take a given course that way, a lot of people end up switching from Credit/D to a grade.
