<p>Does anyone know of a list of mandatory S/NC courses? Or if you know of any mandatory S/NC courses at all, that would be great too! Thanks!</p>

<p>Some I can think of:</p>

<p>CHEM 0100 (very intro Chem)
A lot of TAPS and VISA classes (dance/acting, visual art, etc)
Some music department ensemble classes
MATH 0060, 0090 (analytic geometry, intro intro calc)
A few fiction/screenwriting classes</p>

<p>Basically, there are two types of courses offered S/NC:

  1. “Remedial” courses - things you were expected to have taken in high school. They make these mandatory S/NC so you can’t take them to pad your GPA.
  2. Artistic classes where it’s difficult to grade work. You’re often workshopping pieces and playing music where you can’t really grade on a numerical scale.</p>

<p>Every single VISA class I’ve ever taken, I took for a grade. The workshops in the Lit Arts and English departments, on the other hand, are all mandatory S/NC</p>
