Grading Policies

All courses, including those counting toward the 10 science elective units, must be taken for a letter grade, when letter grades are offered. Courses must be passed with a B or better, and must be repeated if a grade below a B is received.

External Credit Policies

The Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine PhD program does not accept transfer credits toward the degree. All units must be completed through the Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine PhD program.

Accompanying the formal classroom-based core curriculum requires completing three graduate research rotations in the first year. After selecting a thesis advisor, the combined coursework and dissertation-directed research allow completing the requirements leading to a PhD degree. A minimum of 135 units of combined coursework and Graduate Research is required for the student to become eligible for the PhD degree.
