Section 3359-60-03.2 - Credit/noncredit option (undergraduate and postbaccalaureate only) and re-examination(A) Credit/noncredit option. (1) A student who takes a course on a "credit" or "noncredit" (CR/NC) basis, and who earns a grade equivalent to "A" through "C-," shall receive credit (CR) for the course and have the grade "CR" placed on the permanent record; a grade equivalent to "D+" through "F" will be recorded with the noncredit grade "NC."(2) A student who has completed fifty percent of the number of credits required for a degree with a grade-point average; of at least 2.30 shall be allowed, with the consent of an adviser, to take one free elective ("free electives" are defined for the present purposes as courses other than those required for all undergraduate students for graduation by their respective colleges, or by their major department) course per term on a "CR/NC" basis.(3) With the consent of the student's adviser, the first or second year of foreign languages may be on a "CR/NC" basis at any time the student is registered, and regardless of the grade-point average.(4) No more than sixteen credits of non-language courses and no more than twenty credits in total, including language courses, may be taken on a "CR/NC" basis (for an associate degree, half this number is permitted).(5) The election to take a course on a "CR/NC" basis can be made only at the time of registration for that course. A student who elects to take a course on a "CR/NC" basis cannot withdraw and register to take that course for a better grade after the first week of that term. The university registrar will notify the instructor by means of the class list of those students who have elected to utilize the "CR/NC" option.(6) Courses for which "CR" is awarded will be counted as hours completed only; courses for which "NC" is awarded shall not be counted as hours attempted; in neither case shall "CR" or "NC" be considered in calculating grade-point average, but in both instances the course shall be entered on the student's official academic record.(7) A student may repeat a course for credit "(CR)," or a grade after receiving a grade of "NC."(8) A college may, due to a closed class problem, designate in the schedule, on an annual basis, a course as not available to be taken on a "CR/NC" basis.(9) A student taking the course on credit/noncredit basis is expected to meet the full requirements of the course as required by the instructor.(B) Re-examination. A student may not request re-examination in order to raise a grade.Replaces: 3359-60- 03.2
