document Further Q on P/NP or pass/no pass option - "With the Advisor’s approval, the student may complete a Pass/No Pass form before the withdrawal deadline. Students may take a maximum of two courses on a Pass/No Pass (P/NP) basis during the first 64 credits at Trinity and a maximum of two courses during the last 64 credits. Courses taken P/NP may not count towards the fulfillment of major or minor requirements except for internships or practicum." -- Understood. Two follow-up questions. 1) Let's say a student takes a class P/NP (and passes it) during the semester she goes from 61 to 76 credits. Arguably the class could count as credits 62 through 64, right? How will this be scored? Can this be counted as a first-64-credits P/NP? 2) Same student, new wrinkle. She has taken her first P/NP as above, in the semester that takes her from 61 to 76. However, she had bailed out on 9 credits during a bad semester several years ago (and performed well before and since). So her transcript before the first P/NP reads 61 credits earned, 70 attempted. The nut of the question is: during first / last 64 credits EARNED, or first / last 64 credits ATTEMPTED? My reading of it would be ATTEMPTED (admittedly, this is the reading most sympathetic to my advisee), because we're breaking up the number 128, which is the minimum # of credits EARNED, not ATTEMPTED, required for the degree. Ultimately, given this scenario, I'd like to tell the student that she has two P/NPs to play with during the rest of her degree, not just one, because the first P/NP might be said to fit BEFORE the 64-credit midway point. But the policy is ambiguous on this. / Beverly
