With the exception of units earned in independent study courses (numbered 199), and any class taken in Spring 2020, Winter 2021, or Spring 2021 quarters, no more than one-fourth of your total UCSD course units can be P/NP. Your department may not allow P/NP in your major.
P/NP and S/U (Pass/ Not Pass and Satisfactory/ Unsatisfactory) show that you've either passed or not passed a class. Classes with P and S grades count toward your unit requirements for a degree but do not apply to your GPA.
Neither P nor NP grades will affect your GPA. While on academic probation, you must take all coursework for a letter grade unless you enroll in a course that is only offered P/NP.
To calculate your GPA, you start by using all courses completed on a letter-grade basis (A+ through F). You do NOT use courses graded P, NP, IP, W, or I. The grade you receive in a course determines how many grade points you receive for that course.
A quarter is considered one block in high school, and every class in a quarter is worth about five credits. If your final grade at the end of one quarter totals an F, you have to retake the required classes in that quarter. Some schools require that you retake all the classes in that quarter.

How do P/NP courses affect my GPA? Pass and No Pass grade do not carry any grade points; they have no impact on your GPA.

Courses which are graded NP earn no credit toward graduation and do not satisfy major/minor requirements or a general education requirements, and cannot satisfy a prerequisite for another course. The grades P and NP both appear on your official transcript, but are not calculated in your GPA.
