Students should consult with their advisors about their overall course schedule, as requirements vary from field to field. What grades should I expect?
• All graduate classes must be taken for a grade (A-F or S/U). • S/U can be used for 291s (Directed Reading) and all 299s (Dissertation Research). • Do NOT enroll in any graduate course for a P/NP (Pass/Not Pass) grade. A P/NP grade given in a graduate class automatically becomes an “NR” (no record) which then turns into an “F” after one quarter. • Acceptable grades for Ph.D. students in History department classes are A and A-. Any final course grade lower than an A- (3.7) is an indication that the student is not performing up to History department standards. You should immediately speak with your advisor(s) about such grades. • Terminal M.A. students can receive a degree with anything above a 3.0 (B) average. Are there forms of evaluation beyond grades? First year students should receive written evaluations of their work in each course they take. Copies of these evaluations are placed in your Department file and used at your First Year Review.
