Grading Policies
Communication majors must receive a letter grade for all Communication courses unless they are offered only for satisfactory/no credit (S/NC). Only courses with a C- or above grade count towards the major. Therefore, majors who receive a D+ or below grade in one of the core courses must repeat the course.
GPA Requirements
Communication Majors must maintain a grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 (C) in courses towards the major.
External Credit Policies
Generally, required Communication courses must be taken at Stanford. No more than ten units of transfer credit may be applied to meet departmental requirements for the major, and no more than five credits for the minor.
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions opens in a new tab asks transfer students to furnish an official transcript, which the university evaluates. Students who transfer to Stanford and enter the Department of Communication should know that the only communication course likely to be waived is COMM 1.
Additional Program Policies
To be recommended for the BA degree in Communication, you must complete at least 65 units (approximately 12 courses) toward the Communication major.
