Hi, I’m in my second year and taking CHM247, I don’t need the course for any of my majors \/ minors but it’s required for pharmacy school. Would I still be able to cr\/ncr it even though the course is needed for grad school?<\/p>\n

Thanks in advance<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

i can’t find anything on the leslie dan website (i’m assuming you’re talking about leslie dan, and not any other pharmacy school) that says they need a specific mark <\/em>for CHM247. however, they do require that you’ve taken the course, and usually professional schools won’t ask for a specific course if they don’t want to actually see how well you did.<\/p>\n

also<\/em>, the section on CGPA says that if “a student has opted for a CR\/NCR, where a letter or percentage grade would normally be reported, the actual percentage or letter grade that is reported in the student record system will be calculated into the cumulative average.<\/a>” so really, there’s almost no point <\/em>in CR\/NCR’ing it, unless you’re applying to other schools where the CR\/NCR will hold, because they will see your actual mark anyway.<\/p>\n

finally, while this isn’t a strict ban<\/em> on credit\/no-credit, i would take the warning seriously: the faculty says that “[a]ny failed\/repeated subjects, grades below class averages, history of withdrawal, Credit designation, etc., may influence the final decision on the application.<\/a>”<\/p>\n

cheers,<\/p>\n
