Directions for electing a course Credit/Non-Credit

Detailed instructions on electing courses Credit/Non-Credit are available in MyWellesley under the Student Self-Service tab.

All students are expected to go into Workday declare a course Credit/Non-Credit. If a student has been told that they have a registration hold, this will prevent the student from changing a course's Grading Basis. We hope that any student with a registration hold is working with the staff in Student Financial Services so that they will be able to register during the next registration period. Students with a registration hold will need to email registrar@wellesley.edu to request that their course be changed to Credit/Non by the posted deadline.

Refer to the Registration Dates for the Credit/Non-Credit deadline and other important registration-related deadlines.

Policy

Students have the option of taking an unlimited number of units on a Credit/Non-Credit basis. For students who receive a grade of C or higher in a course that they have elected to take Credit/Non-Credit, a notation of CR (credit) will appear on the transcript; for students who receive a grade lower than a C, a notation of NCR (no credit) will appear on the transcript.

If a student withdraws from the course after the fourth week of the semester, a WDR will appear on the transcript; if the student has a permanent incomplete, then an INC will be printed on the transcript.

Please refer to the Articles of Government, Book II, Article VII, section 1.c. for more information.

Please see your Class Dean if you have any additional questions about taking courses Credit/Non-Credit.
