How does pass/no record work?

Here’s something else to love about MIT!

The first semester at MIT is graded on a pass/no record basis: if you pass the class you get a “pass” on your transcript;  if not, there’s no record you took it. The second semester is similar, except that if you pass, you get a letter grade of A/B/C.
