<p>If you pass the class, does it count as 4.0? or does it not factored in your GPA?</p>
<p>check ur school’s policy about that.
But I think most schools don’t take into the P/F course into the gpa calculation, so yeah, its the latter option.</p>
<p>At my daughter’s university, it is pass/no credit. If you get a C or above, you get the credits toward graduation, but it does not affect your GPA. If you earn a C- or below, you get no credit and it also does not affect your GPA.</p>
<p>^^^Same at my school. The professor is not aware that you are taking the course as pass/fail (here, at least, you are not supposed to tell him/her). The professor will assign you a grade just like any other student, and the registrar then converts the grade into either:</p>
<p>1) pass (A, AB, B, BC, C)
2) fail (D, F)</p>
<p>A pass grants credit while a fail does not. Either way, it doesn’t affect your GPA but it does show up on your transcript. </p>
<p>Your school might have slightly different rules. Usually undergraduate catalog will detail the procedures for taking a pass/fail course.</p>
<p>It does not look good and you cant use it on your major.</p>
<p>Generally not factored in, and there are often heavy restrictions on which classes you can actually take P/F.</p>
<p>At my school a class on pass/fail will be Credit if passed (D- or above) or a F if failed. It does factor into your GPA if you fail it.</p>
<p>At my school, a special notation is placed next to your name on the class roster when you take a class pass/fail, so most professors know when you’re taking the class pass/fail. Get above a D- and you get the P on your transcript.</p>
<p>Read your student handbook carefully. Where I teach, P/F can’t be used for your major, your minor, or for general distribution requirements. It doesn’t get counted into your GPA but also doesn’t do much for your transcript, either. Most people only use it when they’re afraid they won’t do well in an elective class or when the deadline for withdrawing has passed.</p>
<p>Students also use it to try something that they are not comfortable with. It’s not like you can take a bulk of your courseload that way; most schools have restrictions as Stradmom explained and they include how many classes you can take with that designation. The misconception that most high school students have is that when they graduate from college, someone hiring them is going to check their transcript carefully. I don’t think most companies even ask for a transcript unless they want verification of a degree.</p>
