The Credit/No Credit option allows students the opportunity to explore the curriculum and take a course they might not have, without the final grade impacting their GPA.

• A student may take four units over four years, not more than one in any semester, under the Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) option.
• Students may not take any courses in their major department under the CR/NC option, but they may use it to take courses towards College Wide Requirements and towards a minor.
• A grade of 1.0 or better will be recorded on the transcript as CR. A grade of 2.0 minimum is needed for the course to complete a College Wide Requirement.
• Once the deadline for sign-up has passed, a student may not sign-up for or reverse the decision or otherwise "uncover the grade," except by declaring a major in the department.
• Bryn Mawr students are bound by Bryn Mawr CR/NC rules, even when the course being taken CR/NC is at Haverford, Swarthmore, or Penn.
