Students have the ability to elect to “NRO” a course. This means that they
select a letter grade, which they would accept as a minimum acceptable
grade.
If a student should earn less than this grade but higher than an “E”, then
“NR” will appear on his/her transcript and the grade will not be factored into
his/her GPA.
If a student should achieve his/her minimum grade or higher, that grade will
appear on their transcript and will be factored into the GPA.
If a student should fail the course, an “E” will appear on the transcript
and be factored into the GPA.
A student may have up to three “NR” grades on a transcript, but only one per
term. If a student elects to NRO a course, but then receives a letter
grade, that student has not used up one of the three available to
him/her. (Note that some students will use this as a way to protect the
GPA – this is not what was intended by this provision.)
Some classes are off-limits for the Non-Recording Option. These are
listed online each term under a link entitled “Non-Recording Option and
Credit/No Credit Courses” on the first page of the Timetable of
Class Meetings.
A course in which a student receives an NR cannot
be applied to Distributives, to the World Culture Requirement, or to the major
requirements.
The NR is irrevocable. A student who discovers that a course for which
they received an “NR” would help towards, say, a major cannot have the NR
replaced with the earned grade.
If a student earns a “D” and receives an “NR” on their transcript, the D
will not be counted in the GPA but it will be counted towards calculations for
Academic Actions, etc.
For more information on the NRO option see the ORC.
