How do I check to see if I am enrolled in a course?
Log into your Triton Student System account using your email address on file. Once you register for a course, it takes one to two business days to see the course on your account.

Are the online courses available for credit?
Our programs are offered for 900/90000 level precollege units. To see how many units are offered, please refer to the program page under “Current Programs.”

Which grading option should I select?
At UC San Diego Division of Extended Studies, you have the option to choose how you want your course(s) graded. Not all grading options are available for all courses. If you don’t choose a grading option, the default grading option will be assigned.

• Letter Grade: A grade between A+ and F reflects your performance in the course and is included in your grade point average (GPA) calculation. A passing grade counts toward your earned credit hours or the required number of units for your certificate.
• Pass/No Pass: A grade of P or NP reflects whether you have passed the course, but does not otherwise indicate your performance. These grades are not included in your GPA calculation; however a P (passing) grade counts toward your earned credit hours or the required number of units for your certificate.
• Not for Credit: A grade of “NFC” reflects that you were enrolled in the course but does not indicate your performance. This grade appears on your transcript, but is not included in your GPA calculation and is not counted toward your earned credit hours or the required number of units for your certificate.

You will have the opportunity to select your grading option when you enroll in your course.

Can I change my grading option?
For most courses, you may change your grading option at any time before the final class meeting (by 11:59 p.m. on the day before the published end date for online courses) or before final grades are posted, whichever comes first. All requests must be initiated through your Triton Student System account. Notifying your instructor or emailing an administrative office is not an official grade change.

How can I check my final grade?
