Is it true there is a committee that can change your LG to P/NP?

<p>Well... I heard a friend said that you can petition for a grade change after the semester over (LG --> P/NP). I didn't do so stellar in a course last semester (literally not that great; I ended up with a C in one class and a NP in another; the C course is a prereq class and the NP class has nothing to do with my major). I screwed up first semester pretty much so I would really want to know if this is a possible solution because that C is really haunting me (I'm already planning to take the NP class again next semester so if I do petition, it'll just be for the class that I got a C in)...</p>

<p>So far, I'm doing quite well in all my courses this semester. I might be able to pull off all A-/A with maybe 1 A+ this semester (Econ1, ESPM course, Math 16B). </p>

<p>Do you think I would have a valid excuse if family issues were involved from last semester? </p>

<p>Thanks a bunch!</p>

<p>If such a committee did exist, they’d probably say no to your situation.</p>
