Grading Policies
At least 36 units must be taken for a letter grade, and all letter-graded units must be passed with a C- or better.
GPA Requirements
Graduate students must maintain a 3.0 (B) grade point average overall in courses applicable to the degree, as outlined in the Graduate Academic Policies and Procedures (GAP opens in a new tab) handbook.
External Credit Policies
Engineer candidates who also earned their master’s at Stanford are not eligible for transfer residency credit, nor are any master’s degree students.
Department Coterm Course Transfer Policy
In the Coterminal master’s program, the quarters back rule allows you to transfer courses taken sophomore year or later from your undergraduate transcript to your graduate transcript. No courses taken before the first quarter of the sophomore year may be used to meet master’s degree requirements.
Course transfers are not possible after the bachelor’s degree has been conferred.
