Request for “Pass” or “No Pass” grade marks
AB 104 allows parents or guardians of high school students enrolled in coursework during the 2020-21 school year to replace their letter grades to a “Pass" (P) or “No Pass” (NP) designation on their transcript:
- “Pass” (P) can replace a final grade mark of A, B, C, or D
- “No Pass” (NP) can replace a final grade mark of F, NC, or NG
- P/NP marks are not calculated into the overall GPA
- P/NP grades do not suppress previously earned D/F grades
- The intent of grade suppression is to encourage a SDUSD student who receives a “D” or “F” on a SDUSD course to repeat the same course or course equivalent multiple times, to improve the mark and the cumulative GPA
- A P/NP grade change is not recommended for a course that has suppressed a repeated D or F grade, as this will remove the suppression and will now impact the GPA calculation
- Grade replacement can occur for SDUSD courses taken during the 2020 summer and 2020-21 school year
- Charter schools, out-of-district schools, college courses on SDUSD transcripts do not apply
- This only applies to SDUSD courses that meet high school graduation requirements, including high school courses taken in 7th and 8th grade
- There is no limitation on the number of grades that can be replaced with P/NP as long as the coursework was completed during 2020-21
- Once a change is requested and completed, the change cannot be undone
Parents/guardians who would like to request P/NP grade replacement need to complete and submit the following form via email to the Office of Leadership and Learning at [email protected]:
