In deciding whether to receive a letter grade or to change your status to credit/no credit (CR/NC) for any of your courses, please be aware that choosing credit/no credit may impact financial aid, requirements within your major, prerequisites for follow-up courses, acceptance to certain programs at UVU or elsewhere, acceptance to graduate programs, and more elements of your education. Below are some details of how changing to credit/no credit may impact your education.
For additional information, go to Spring 2020 Grading
For all classes in the College of Engineering and Technology, if you change your status to credit/no credit, you will only receive credit if your overall score in the class would have earned you a grade of C- or higher.
A Credit (CR) grade will NOT be accepted in the following programs:Please contact your advisor with any questions
If you are registered for the same course in a later semester, it will not pull in your spring class. You will need to drop the course in the later semester for the spring course to pull in.
No, the deadline was April 24, 2020.
No, this was a one-time exception for Spring semester due to the change to online mid-semester.

If you have an extenuating circumstance, you can request an exception by filling out
the Withdrawal Exception form.
It must be submitted by the last day of the semester (April 30 for full semester courses).
If you withdraw from a course, you will receive a W grade. This is a safe way to stop the course and is more common on transcripts. It does not affect your GPA. If you choose NC (no credit), you will receive an NC grade depending on your grade at the end of the semester. It does not affect your GPA.
Yes! In order to get CR, you must have at least a C- at the end of the semester. Keep going, you’re almost there.
For most programs:
Math requires at least a C- to earn CR. This can be used as a prerequisite for
the next course.
ENGL 1010 requires a letter grade to move onto the next course.
Please refer to each college’s page to see how your class will be evaluated for credit.
Engineering students must have a letter grade in: ENGL 1010, ENGL 2010, MATH
1210, CHEM 1210, PHYS 2210, PHYS 2220
Computer Science and Software Engineering students must have a letter grade in
MATH 1210 and ENGL 1010.
Business/Marketing Education students must have a letter grade in ECON 2020.
Please refer to the Financial Aid/Scholarships website and office for specific questions.
Not if it is allowed in your program. You may need an override to get into the course if you have CR in the prerequisite course.

Some of the programs in our college have or are seeking accreditation and must have letter grades in order to keep or earn accreditation. Other programs require letter grades because they are required for students to achieve licensure in their field. Program matriculation requirements are higher then what is being accepted for the CR grade.
The programs that do NOT accept CR are:
Yes, portfolio submissions will continue with digital submission.
You can find this in the catalog by searching for your degree and then clicking on the Department tab.
You can still apply for graduation and receive your diploma. Please see these websites for current updates on graduation ceremonies and Grad Fest.
Contact your instructor with specific questions and concerns about group work and how it will be graded.
Please read through UVU's grading website and fill out the Grade Mode Selection Form located there.
Please refer to Spring 2020 Grading on Grad School:
Do you have plans for grad school? CR/NC grades may not be accepted, or may make you less competitive! While we'd like to think that schools around the state, nation, and world will be lenient for Spring 2020, no one can guarantee it.
If you have been conditionally accepted into a graduate program contingent on your completing a specific course with a minimum letter grade in order to be fully admitted into the graduate program, the CR/NC option may not work for you.
For current UVU graduate students, please check with your graduate program for information about whether or not CR/NC graded courses may be used towards your master's degree or graduate certificate.
