Grades and Units Information
Below you’ll find information about grades, Professional Development Units (PDUs) and Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
Professional Education Courses
Satisfactory - S (Satisfactory) is the only grade bestowed by Stanford Center for Professional Development for professional education courses and is therefore the highest achievable grade for a professional education course.
Credit Bearing Courses
See Axess - Grades for credit bearing courses are tracked centrally by Stanford University in Axess.
Note: Unless explicitly stated otherwise, Stanford Online credentials do not confer Stanford University credit.
Continuing Education Units
One Continuing Education Unit, or CEU, is granted for every 10 hours of instructional time. This includes time spent performing learning activities (e.g., assessments, evaluations, final projects, etc.) needed to successfully complete all course requirements. CEUs cannot be applied to any Stanford degree. Applicability of CEUs at other institutions is dependent on their individual policies.
