Grade Options


Credit/No Credit Grade Option

This grading option is open only to undergraduate and non-degree students enrolling in non-major courses.

To receive a CR (credit), the student must earn at least a grade of C. Students who do not satisfactorily complete a course under CR/NC grading will receive NC (no credit).
Students may change from a traditional grade option to a CR/NC option through the fourth week of classes. A change from CR/NC to a traditional grading system may also be made prior to the end of the fourth week of classes. No changes may be made after the fourth week of classes (second week during summer session).

A maximum of 24 credit hours graded CR/NC will be allowed toward a baccalaureate degree and 12 credit hours graded CR/NC will be allowed toward an associate degree. No courses in the core areas of degree programs may be taken for CR/NC. It is highly recommended that students check with a UNM-LA advisor because different colleges within UNM accept different number of credit hours in courses taken for CR/NC specific for the degree offered.

Hours earned for courses in which grading is specifically approved for CR/NC are not included in the 24-hour maximum allowed toward degree requirements under the CR/NC grade option.


Audit

A student may register in a course in "audit" status, provided permission of the instructor is obtained and space is available. An auditor who fails to attend class may be dropped at the instructor’s request. The fee for audited courses is the same as for credit courses. Audit enrollment receives no credit and is not included in the student’s total course load for purposes of enrollment certification.

Instructor permission will be required before registering in a course for audit through the first two weeks of classes. No permission from the instructor is required to change to audit status during the third and fourth week of classes. No changes in audit status may be made after the fourth week of classes (second week during summer session).

Courses taken for audit may be repeated for credit.
