Policies

Grading Policies

All required courses must be taken with letter grades, except BIOPHYS 250 (C/NC) & MED 255 (P/N). The minimum acceptable grade is B.

GPA Requirements

An overall GPA of at least 3.0 must be maintained.

External Credit Policies

Students who completed graduate coursework at another institution are expected to transfer course units in the winter quarter of their first year of doctoral study. The Director of Graduate Studies will evaluate the transfer of units on a course-by-course basis. Graduate work accepted for transfer of residency does not automatically exempt a student from having to complete a course requirement for the degree.
