Grading Policies
Students are required to earn grades of B or better in all courses take each term. While a B is the minimum required grade for all classes, all students must earn a minimum grade of A- for courses taken to fulfill first and second field requirements. Grades of B- and below are inadequate and are reviewed by the faculty. The student may be required to revise and resubmit work associated with the course or retake the course.
External Credit Policies
Students who completed graduate coursework at another institution are encouraged to transfer course units in 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.
