agree  Timothy Barton: Imagine you need 300 credits for your degree, and you end up taking 304. These are credits you didn't need for your degree. I assume these are not included in your overall grade.

Students may count a maximum 30 "non-graded credits" toward the 120 credits required for a degree. "Non-graded credits" are earned in courses for which no letter grade (A through E) is recorded on the transcript. Only those non-graded credits actually earned are counted as part of the total number of non-graded credits applicable toward a degree.
