Some courses must be taken for a letter grade; others must be taken on the pass/fail or credit/no credit basis. These requirements are given in catalogs and the *[Course Schedule](http://registrar.utexas.edu/schedules).* If registration in a course is not restricted to a specific grading basis, the student may choose to register either for a letter grade or for credit.

An undergraduate student may change registration in a class from the pass/fail basis to the letter-grade basis or from the letter-grade basis to the pass/fail basis until the deadline given in the [Academic Calendar](https://catalog.utexas.edu/general-information/introduction/academic-calendar/). The basis of registration for a course may be changed only once.

A graduate student may change registration in a class from the credit/no credit basis to the letter-grade basis or from the letter-grade basis to the credit/no credit basis until the deadline given in the [Academic Calendar](https://catalog.utexas.edu/general-information/introduction/academic-calendar/).
