Grading Policies
Students are expected to enroll in all required courses for a letter grade unless that option is not available. Grades of B or lower indicate that a student may not be performing at the level expected of a doctoral student in the program.
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.
