<p>Does anyone know how Pass/No Pass exactly works toward your GPA? I want to take P/NP for a Statistics class.</p>
<p>So basically if you pass, what happens? It wouldnt bump up your gpa would it?</p>
<p>It depends on the school. Some might count it in your GPA, but I'm guessing that most do not. My CC didn't count P/NP classes towards GPA. However, I have heard that those transferring into a CSU such as SFSU would see SFSU count a "Pass" earned from CC as a "C" grade. I have no idea if it is true or not. </p>
<p>I've heard you should not take a major pre-req as P/NP, so if you need that statistics class as a pre-req for transferring into a specific major, take the letter grade instead. If you are taking it to fulfill the math (or some other) GE or for general interest, then P/NP should be OK.</p>
<p>I highly doubt CSU's count P/NP into your GPA. I know for a fact that the UC's don't do it, so i'm assuming that CSU's don't either. As long as you don't take a major pre req as P/NP, you will be fine.</p>
<p>I've heard the only schools, that count a Pass as a C, are some private schools.</p>
