With the approval of the Graduate Council certain work of graduate students as hereinafter specified may be reported in terms of the grades S (satisfactory) and U (unsatisfactory). The grade S shall be defined as equivalent to a grade of B (3.0) or better. No credit will be allowed for work graded U.
(A) Provisional Grades
The grades S or U may be assigned provisionally in each but the last quarter of a graduate course extending over more than one quarter. In the last quarter the letter grades assigned in accordance with IR A345 may replace such provisional grades. (B) Authority
With the consent of the departments (or equivalents) involved, individual study and research or other individual graduate work undertaken by a graduate student may be evaluated by means of the grades S or U. (C) Credit
When a grade of S or U has been assigned on a provisional basis in accordance with IR 355(A) and the student does not complete all quarters of the course sequence, the instructor may assign a final letter grade or the grade of I to replace the S or U, or let the grade of S or U stand as a final grade. (D) Other Courses
With the specific approval of the Graduate Council, other graduate courses may be graded on an S/U basis provided that students enrolled in such graduate courses receive a grade of S, U, or I, and undergraduates, a grade of P or NP.
