Certain courses have been approved for Credit/No Credit registration by the departments or programs concerned. Students may enroll in one such approved course, outside their major, each semester instead of registering for the normal letter grade. Students enrolled on a Credit/ No Credit basis must fulfill all course requirements including attendance, assignments, classroom participation, papers and examinations. Credit is given if the semester grade is D or above. If the semester grade is F, it is recorded as NC and is included in hours attempted but not hours completed. Credit/No Credit registration must be completed in the Office of the Registrar by the tenth day of classes and may not be reversed thereafter. Credit/No Credit courses count as hours attempted. An exception was made for courses taken in spring 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and students could request CR/NC grading late in the semester and CR was applied to C- and higher grades.
Study abroad classes which are fulfilling general education or elective courses will automatically be recorded as credit/ no credit on the Illinois College transcript. All classes that will be applied to a major/minor/concentration will be recorded with a letter grade. If you would like to have all your classes assigned a letter grade, you must notify the Registrar’s Office by the 10th day of Illinois College classes for the semester in which you are enrolled in IS 202. IMPORTANT: If you take a class CR/NC, only the credit transfers back (not the letter grade), thus it will not affect your GPA. If you wish to have the letter grade recorded for all study abroad coursework, both the credit and the grade is factored into your semester and overall GPA.
