Grading Policies

Graduate students in the department must take required courses for letter grades if this option is available, and are expected to earn a grade of 'B+' or above in each course. Any grade of 'B' or below is considered to be less than satisfactory.

Students are responsible for making sure grades are reported. If asterisks (*), incomplete grades (I), GNR, or No Credits (NC) appear on the end-of-quarter grade report, students should check with their instructor immediately.

GPA Requirements

Graduate students in the department are required to maintain a GPA of 3.0 in all courses required for the degree. Students with a GPA of less than 3.0 are not making satisfactory progress and may be at risk for dismissal from the program.

External Credit Policies

Students who completed graduate coursework at another institution may transfer course units (up to 45) in the winter quarter of their first year of doctoral study. Graduate work accepted for transfer of credit does not automatically exempt a student from having to complete a course requirement for the degree.
