Catalog explains optional grading Optional credit / no credit grading is explained in catalogs available here every fall, yet few students know how to take advantage of it. Credit / no credit grading is based on whether students get a Cor above in a course, which gives them credit, or D or below. No letter grade is given, meaning that the course isn't figured into your GPA. I Eligibility for the system is ~ased on having 12 or more units with a 2.0 average or better. Only one course of this iype may be taken each semester, and that course cannot be in any major field of study. Counselor Inger Singh explained that students who elect to take credit/no credit courses often have high GPA's (such as 3.0 or above) and don't want this average brought down by a C, D or F. He added that students often take a required course they aren't particularly good in with this kind of grading. According to counseling statistics, about two percent of Palomar's population takes one credit/no credit course each semester. Growing awareness of the program is causing a rising number of students to try courses on a credit/no credit basis.
