Students who wish to enroll in a graduate or a 100- through
400-level undergraduate course and perform all the assigned work except
the final exam without receiving credit may do so if they secure the
advance approval of their advisers. When they register, they must
indicate "not-for-credit" status by entering the symbol N. They must
pay the normal graduate tuition fee for the course and fulfill the same
requirements as other students during the semester, including doing all
written assignments. At the end of the semester, however, they do not
take the final examination, and they are assigned a grade of S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory).
The course and the letter grade are included on the student's record,
but no credit toward a degree is given. See the Registration and Degree
Requirements chapter for information regarding credit prefixes.
