On Thursday, the Faculty Senate voted 36-15 to mandate that all spring quarter courses be graded on a satisfactory/no-credit (S/NC) basis. Courses in the Stanford Graduate School of Business, Stanford Law School and Stanford School of Medicine’s M.D. program were exempt from this decision, but those schools may opt in.

The Senate also approved a measure that “strongly urges” departments and programs to “exclude units of credit earned for a ‘CR’ or ‘S’ grade during spring quarter 2019-20 from program unit maximums and/or alter program requirements as appropriate.”

The Daily has reached out to all of Stanford’s departments, schools and programs that offer undergraduate and/or graduate degrees to compile a list of those accepting courses taken on a S/NC basis this spring for degree requirements. Ways of Thinking/Ways of Doing, Thinking Matters and Program in Writing and Rhetoric courses taken S/NC in the spring will also count toward undergraduate graduation requirements.

No departments, schools or programs have yet said that they will not be accepting courses taken S/NC this spring. The following list will be updated as The Daily receives additional responses.
