Degree students can use the Credit/No Credit (CR/NCR) option to complete a distribution requirement or elective course taken at any of the three U of T campuses. This option gives you the flexibility to take courses outside of your program area with no impact to your grade point average for a maximum of 2.0 credits. If you pass a course with a final grade of at least 50%, a notation of "CR" will appear on your transcript. Marks below that will be assessed as "no credit" (NCR), and will be recorded on your transcript accordingly.
You can request Credit/No Credit on ACORN during the appropriate request period.
Notes:
- UTM students must follow UTM academic and financial deadlines even if the course is taken at another campus, with the exception of Late Withdrawal and Credit/No Credit.
- CR/NCR cannot be used to satisfy program requirements. Please note that some programs specify that courses with a grade of CR/NCR will not count as part of the 4.0 credits required for program entry. Program entry requirements are listed in the Calendar.
- If a student has requested CR/NCR in a course in which they committed an academic offence, the request will be revoked and the percentage grade will stand as the course grade.
