Pass/Fail question

[txhsmom]

There was a recent post about giving PE pass/fail and many replied that colleges would weigh that as a C in the weighted GPA.  Is this true for all colleges and for all classes? 

DD's flute teacher suggested that she switch her lessons from his private studio to the CC he teaches at.  The course would be Pass/Fail.  She doesn't really need the credit it's just cheaper and more experience for her playing in front of CC judges...etc.  The new CC flute course would show up on her CC transcript (since she's planning to take other courses there).  We were planning on doing this but now we are not sure. 

Does anyone know the policy for pass/fail classes and how they affect GPA?

It depends on if the school would actually factor a PE grade into their GPA formula. You can call and ask questions like that. I never worried about it and my kids PE cr were all Ps. Not as sure about music, though. A simple call admissions at schools your student might consider would give you insight.
