for all degrees. Only grades of A, B or C earn graduate credit. Grades of all students are recorded in the Office of the Registrar. Grading is done on the following basis:
A-Superior achievement
-four grade points per unit
B-Above average achievement -three grade points per unit C-Minimum passing performance -two grade points per unit E-Failure -no grade points I-Incomplete -no grade points S-Satisfactory -no grade points W-Withdrawal -no grade points A grade of I (Incomplete) may be assigned if a student has been unable to fulfill all course requirements and completion of these would result in a passing grade. At the completion of the next grading period that I must be changed either to E or an appropriate passing grade. No grade other than an I may be altered once it has been reported to the Registrar unless an error was made in grading or recording. These changes can only be made upon written approval of the instructor, the Registrar and the Dean. Dropping of Courses Courses may be dropped without assignment of a grade during the first three weeks of the quarter. A grade of E or W will be recorded for classes dropped after this time. Student Loads The normal full time load for a graduate student is twelve to sixteen hours per quarter. No student will be allowed to carry over sixteen units in any quarter and no full time student may carry less than nine units until he has been admitted to candidacy. Transfer Credit Doctoral candidates may transfer up to forty-five quarter hours of graduate study from an accredited school. No courses may be transferred if the grade was below a B. Credit by Examination No graduate credit will be given by examination. Students who possess excellent background in an area of study may petition the Dean for waiver of a required course on the basis of examination. No credit is given on this basis, however. Time Limit for Degrees All course and academic requirements must be completed within eight years of the beginning of the student's graduate study at Rosemead. 20
