The Passed/Not Passed (P/NP) grade is designed to encourage you to take challenging courses outside your normal academic sphere without having to worry unduly about your grades. To receive a grade of P, your level of performance must correspond to a letter grade of C- or higher. P/NP grades are not counted in your GPA; however, students who have received 12 or more units of NP grades may be blocked from future registration in the college. Guidelines for P/NP Grades - To take a course on a P/NP basis, you must be in good academic standing.
- You may receive unit credit for courses graded P (including P/NP units that you take through EAP) up to a limit of one-third of the total units taken and passed on the Berkeley campus at the time you graduate.
- Remember that you can't take courses to fulfill the Reading & Composition, Math, and most breadth requirements on a P/NP basis - you must take them for a letter grade. This is true also for courses in your major.
- Please note: If you are planning to apply to law school, be advised that the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS) counts NP grades as F's when computing a student's grade-point average (GPA). LSDAS does not count P grades in the GPA.
For more information about the P/NP grade, consult the General Catalog or make an appointment with an academic advisor.
