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 term, including doing
all written assignments. At the end of the term, 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 Grades and Records in this
chapter for information regarding credit prefixes.
