Students who wish to enroll in a course 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. They must pay the normal tuition fee for the course and fulfill the same requirements during the semester, including the execution of any written assignments, as all other students. At the end of the semester, however, they may not take the final examination, and they will be assigned a grade of S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory). The course and the grade are included on the student's record, but no credit toward a degree is given. See also the Grades and Records chapter for information regarding credit prefixes.
