Graduate Degrees describes university requirements for the PhD

 All courses counted toward the 135-unit requirement for the PhD must be at the graduate level. At least three consecutive quarters of coursework must be taken at Stanford.

PhD students in the department must take required courses for a letter grade if available, and they are expected to earn a grade of B+ or better in each course taken. Any grade of B or below is considered to be less than satisfactory. Grades of B or below are reviewed by faculty, and the following actions may be taken:

• The grade stands, and the student’s academic performance is monitored to ensure that satisfactory progress is being made

• The grade stands, and the student is required to revise and resubmit the work associated with the course

• The student may be required to retake the course

The principal conditions for continued registration of a graduate student are the timely and satisfactory completion of the university, department, and program requirements for the degree and fulfillment of minimum progress requirements. Failure to meet these requirements results in corrective measures, including a written warning, academic probation, and/or the possible dismissal from the program. See GAP 5.6.1 Dismissal for Academic and Professional Reasons for more information.
