Because of the disruption to normal operations this semester caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the College is temporarily revising some elements of the grading policy for Spring 2020 courses. This policy revision is applicable to all Spring 2020 courses at CCA.

Beginning March 30, students in A-F graded courses will have the option of converting to a Pass/No Credit (P/NC) grading format for any course. Students may convert grading for as many or as few courses as they choose. Students will have until May 8 to request P/NC grading.

A grade of P receives the course’s designated units of course credit (e.g. 3 units). A grade of NC receives 0 units of course credit. P/NC grades are not factored into the GPA.

All course grades will be assigned according to the course’s default grading method (A-F or P/NC) unless a student requests a format conversion via Workday.

NOTE: Requests to the instructor are not sufficient nor official.

Special Instructions are available in Workday.
