Policies

Maintain a grade point average of 3.5 or higher in coursework being counted toward the CME-PhD.

Students not completing a master’s degree at Stanford may submit the Graduate Residency Transfer Credit Application eForm to transfer up to 45 units of graduate coursework completed at another institution. Students should consult the ICME Director of Student and Academic Services before submitting the transfer credit form. Transfer credit approval is at the discretion of the Institute and the registrar.

The first-year core, general core, and programming core classes are strict requirements. No petitions for course substitutions will be approved for these requirements. Students can substitute courses not on the above lists for the remaining course requirements with the approval of their advisor and the ICME Director of Graduate Studies. They should submit a written request to the ICME student services office to do so.
