Satisfactory/No Credit Grading

The Department of Electrical Engineering policy with respect to satisfactory/no credit grading, is as follows:

1. courses taken to satisfy the requirements for a graduate degree (M.S., Engineer, or Ph.D.) normally should be taken for a letter grade (A,B,C, or D).
2. Exceptions to the general policy stated above may be made automatically under the following conditions:
   1. When a course is offered only on satisfactory/no credit basis.
   2. When the course consists of a seminar, directed study, or a thesis or dissertation, provided that the instructor and the student agree at the beginning of the course that the grading will be on a satisfactory/no credit basis rather than on the basis of a letter grade.
