Grading Policies
Letter grades are required for all courses, unless an explicit exception is granted in advance by the Applied Physics Faculty.
A minimum grade average of B is expected in the basic course work taken prior to the candidacy decision.
GPA Requirements
A final average overall grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 (B) is required for courses used to fulfill degree requirements.
External Credit Policies
Students who completed graduate coursework at another institution are encouraged to transfer course units in the winter quarter of their first year of doctoral study. Graduate work accepted for transfer of residency does not automatically exempt a student from having to complete a course requirement for the degree.
