The "PEN" grade will not lapse to FPN; final determination of a grade will depend on final evaluation by the instructor or the outcome of the college's academic review process. |
COVID-19 Flexible Grading Policy (CR/NC) FAQs
This policy can protect your GPA from the negative effects of a low passing or failing grade in a course. Note: This policy should not be confused with the COVID 19 Flexible Grading Policy that was only available to you in spring/fall 2020.
It allows for course-level, pass/no pass grading: An earned letter grade of A, B, C, D is recorded as a “P” and a failing F grade is recorded as an “NC” (no credit). With a P grade, you will earn credit for the course, but with no effect on your GPA. With an NC grade, you will not earn credit, but there is also no effect on your GPA.
It requires that both you and your professor agree to Pass/No Pass grading for the course, and to file this agreement with Registrar by the last day to withdraw from classes. The instructor is not obligated to grant this request. In order to receive this grade, a student needs to continue attending the class, complete all assignments, and take the final exam.
It limits the number of times that you can apply Pass/No Pass grading to a maximum of two (2) courses while attending BCC.
It is not an option for courses in a program (e.g., Nursing) that requires a specific minimum grade in certain courses.
It may not be an option for courses in a program that receives certification or accreditation from external agencies. These programs include:
Accounting, Business Administration
Computer Information Systems
Marketing
Medical Office Assistant
Office Administration & Technology
Automotive Technology
Electronic Engineering Technology
Nuclear Medicine Technology
Nursing
Paralegal Studies
Radiologic Technology
Medical Laboratory Technician
