Pass/No
Credit
To
encourage exploration of different areas of study, a Pass/No
Credit option is available for Part-Time MBA Program students.
Students who request the Pass/No Credit option will receive
a grade of "P", which will be recorded on the
official transcript, if their performance would otherwise
be rated as A, B, or C. Academic work must be judged by
the instructor to be C level or better in order to "Pass".
Academic work judged to be poor, a grade of D or F, will
be graded "No Credit" and will not count toward
the student's academic progress. Students' decisions to
take a course P/NC will be communicated to the instructor.
The
Pass/No Credit option will allow you to set a target
grade in lieu of the Pass/No Credit grade. Setting a
target grade would allow you to either keep the P/NC
option or a pre-specified target grade that you would
find acceptable. In effect, you could request a particular
course to be graded Pass/No Credit with a target grade
of "A". If the "A" grade is earned,
the letter grade would be awarded instead of the P or
NC grade. If a "B" or "C" grade
is earned, a grade of "P" will be awarded.
In either scenario, the Pass/No Credit option is considered
used.
In
order to request the Pass/No Credit option you must
read and satisfy the following conditions:
- You
must be a Kellogg student in pursuit of the MBA degree
to use this option.
- The
Pass/No Credit option cannot be used for core courses.
- The
Pass/No Credit option cannot be used to satisfy the
minimum requirements for a major. As such, please
keep in mind that if you do use the Pass/No Credit
option to satisfy the minimum requirements for a major,
you eliminate that field as a major option.
- The
Pass/No Credit option cannot be used for GIM courses.
- The
Pass/No Credit option may be used for a maximum total
of two credits. For example, the Pass/No Credit option
may be used for two 1 credit courses or four 1/2 credit
courses.
