FAQS

Do I have to complete the quizzes?

Several of the modules require a completion quiz. Where there is a required quiz, you must complete it with a score of at least 85% in order to have your completion of that module recorded.

What is a passing grade?

A grade of 85% or better is required to pass an RECR module quiz. If you do not achieve that score, you can retake the quiz (questions may be different) until you do.

Does my grade go on my Stanford transcript?

No. Module quiz scores are kept only within a database of CITI completions. Your completion of any of these tutorials is not recorded by the Office of the Registrar at Stanford University, and is not recorded on your University transcript.

I am funded by the NSF. When do I need to complete an RECR module?

Students who are funded by the National Science Foundation, e.g., students with NSF fellowships or paid as an RA on an NSF research project are required to complete the appropriate RECR module within the first quarter of their funding.
