What is the Fall 2020 Credit/No Credit policy?

The Fall 2020 flexible grading policy applies to students (undergraduate, and non-degree) enrolled in most classes at City Tech. Under the new flexible grading policy, after final grades are posted by faculty, you can choose to convert the traditional letter grade you earned in most courses (any grade from B+ to D-), into a grade of Credit (“CR”) or F to No Credit (“NC”). Unlike traditional letter grades, which affect your grade point average (“GPA”), grades of Credit or No Credit will not factor into your GPA.
