Pass or Fail petition after the quarter is over

<p>Hi</p>

<p>Spring quarter just started on April 1st and over the spring break, I decided to change my major to political science while I was admitted as pre biz economics.
I took four classes during winter quarter and I got As in three classes but ended up with B- in my math class. Since I changed my major, math class is not required for my degree and the bad grade only hurts my GPA. my quarter GPA will change from 3.6 to 3.9 (which is a significant change) if I change the grading system to Pass/Fail base. How likely is it that college will let me change the grading system even though the quarter ended? How should I defend myself when I submit the petition? I've once rejected by the college when I petitioned with late enrollment so I know they are not that generous enough. :(</p>

<p>Are you saying you can file a petition to change a course grading system to P/NP even the course is over?</p>

3

<p>If it were up to me I wouldn’t allow you to change it after the end of the quarter.</p>

4

<p>yes that’s what I think. Because the website states there is 35 dollars of late fee “after the last day of instruction”…</p>

5

<p>what is the link to the website? “after the last day of instruction” does not mean “after the grade is up”.</p>

6

<p>Again, this does not make sense. If $35 can change your overall GPA, a lot of people would do that. :P</p>

<p>@xxCollegesxx, you need to chill, dude. LOL</p>

<p>There needs to be compelling reasoning as to why the class was not taken P/NP at first. At the time you took the class, you believed it was necessary to take it for a grade, and so I would be shocked if they accept your petition.</p>

<p>yeah that’s because I decided to change major after winter quarter.</p>

<p>On Late Credt Detail Change Petition Form, it says
Please note that this petition is rerely approved. The following are insufficient reasons for a petition to change late credit detail: poor or superior academic performance, poor judgement in choosing classes, change of major. or illness.</p>

<p>then for what other possible excuses are some ppl’s petitions approved?</p>

<p>Stop trying to get it changed and accept the fact you got a B. You know, if you get all A’s in your new major, you can make up for the B in the long run and the B will virtually have no effect on your GPA</p>
