Non-Credit Course on Transcript

[GLaDOS]

I tried searching SDN & other sites, but couldn't quite find an answer that made sense to me, so I am hoping somebody could please help me.

In Spring 2006, I took an equestrian Continuing Education/Non-Credit course at a local CC & ended up not attending the required practicum, because by that time, I had already found a job working in hippotherapy. I explained this to the instructor & since the withdrawal date had already passed, she said she would mark me as 'NR', meaning "no grade submitted by instructor".

I've been taking sign language courses (for credit) at the same CC & I happened to look at my transcript today & for that Spring 2006 non-credit course, I am marked as U for unsatisfactory & my GPA under "Continuing Education" is 0.0 & I have all zeros for Passed Hours, Earned Hours, GPA Hours & Quality Points. Under Credit Hours, I have actual numbers & a calculated GPA.

I guess my question is...will the non-credit course affect my cGPA when I apply? I saw in some other threads that people were saying a non-credit math course marked XF/0.0 would need to be calculated for BCPM. Seeing as though this course was a non-credit/CE/certificate course, does the same apply?

I had a similar credit, a non-credit course in my young years that I ended up dropping after I the official drop date had passed. I received a F.

As the course was non-credit, and had I completed it and gotten zero credits for it, it would not affect my grade average.

It showed up as an F on my transcript and AACOMAS, but did not count towards my GPA, just as if I had gotten an A, it would show up as an A and not counted towards my GPA.

My entire UG degree was P/F with no credit hours. I had to list all of the classes on AMCAS, but all the credit hours were zeroes, and AMCAS did not calculate a GPA based on any of them. It was kind of odd, because I looked like a first semester freshman with a PhD. 😛
