In addition, the following policy applies to project work:

Project work may be given an S (Satisfactory) grade on a semester-by-semester basis, but a letter grade (A, B, C, D, or R) must be given in the final semester for a multi-semester project. The units with an S grade are counted toward degree requirements but are not included in computing the average grade. Course work or graduate project units with a grade lower than C are not acceptable toward graduate degree requirements.

The average grade of 96 units applied to the degree shall be at least B, and the student may choose any 96 units of the first 120 units attempted to compute the grade average. Individual departments may have specific requirements regarding grades in certain courses.
