Course Grading

Pass/No Pass Courses and Grading

Some courses allow a student to select or change the grading option to pass/no pass instead of a letter grade. Students may change the grading option online via student self-service or may file a request to Change Grade Option: Pass/No Pass, which may be obtained on the Admissions and Records website at www.lbcc.edu/admissions-records-forms. The deadline for changing the grading option for eligible classes can be found in the class schedule. Students who elected pass/no pass are still required to do all work assigned and take examinations as though they were receiving letter grades. To receive a grade of pass, a student must do work equivalent to a C grade or higher. Students seeking an associate degree are limited to 20 units on a pass/no pass grading basis. All 800-band courses are not applicable to a degree, are graded pass/no-pass. Courses taken on a pass/no pass grading basis do not affect a student's grade point average at LBCC. Students should consult the catalogs of the colleges they intend to transfer to and determine those schools’ policies regarding how pass/no pass coursework is transferred.
