Note: Under this system, Stanford restored the D grade, defining it as “Minimal Pass.” Pass notations (“+” and P) were redefined to encompass all passing grades, A through D.
Summer Quarter 1972-73: P was introduced to denote pass in a course offered only pass/no credit at the option of the instructor.
Spring Quarter 1971-72: “+” and “-” as grade modifiers were reintroduced for all students.
Autumn Quarter 1971-72: “+” and “-” as grade modifiers were reintroduced for graduate students.

Note: The grades A, B, C, and “+” were redefined: D, E, F, W, and “-” were dropped from the grading system. Under the prior system, the University maintained records of all courses a student attempted. But under the revised system, the only courses recorded were those that were successfully completed or for which an I (incomplete) grade was given. The revised system also allowed a student or instructor to request the deletion of an I grade from a student’s record if the student did not meet the requirements of the course within the time limit determined by the instructor. The use of the modifying suffixes “+” and “-” appended to letter grades was discontinued.
