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 http://www.trinitydc.edu/interactive/kb/entry/66/ Thank you for your question. 1) If the student takes a course P/NP during the semester in which she goes from 61 to 76 credits, it can count as one of two courses allowed as P/NP options during the first 64 credits.

Do CAS students have to take other courses to satisfy their FLC requirements? For example, Phil 103 is an FLC and a major requirement.

Administrative Offices Mon, 09 Feb 2009 14:28:23 -0500 Course waiver forms and current procedures? - Couple questions. 1. As of 1/14/09, the cap waiver form no longer is listed among the forms for faculty. Where else can I find it? 2. A few years back, if a faculty signed a waiver for a student allowing her into a CAS class, that permanently raised the cap -- in other words, if your class went from 30 to 31 to accommodate the student, the cap stuck there. It didn't sink back down to 30 when someone else dropped. (Or so we were told.) Is that still the case? 3. Can one process a cap waiver for a student who is not on the waitlist IF there is someone on the waitlist? Must that waitlisted student be processed first? Thanks. http://www.trinitydc.edu/interactive/kb/entry/59/ 1. Cap overrides or waivers are completed using the schedule adjustment form, which is available on the forms website. Students fill out the schedule adjustment form and it is signed by the advisor and a Dean to override the...

Does she have to re-take them? http://www.trinitydc.edu/interactive/kb/entry/55/ As of now, there is no CAS-wide policy that addresses this question; each program has its own policy regarding grades in major and co-requisite courses.
