Graduate Students
Any student who falls out of good academic standing may be suspended. The academic advisor for any student who is suspended or placed on academic probation shall receive a copy of the letter that informs the student of his or her suspension or probation.
Graduate Academic Suspension
A graduate student will be placed on academic suspension if he or she does not meet the minimum cumulative grade point averages listed below.
- After attempting 18 or fewer credit hours: 2.66 GPA
- After attempting 19-27 credit hours: 2.75 GPA
- After attempting 28-32 credit hours: 2.8 GPA
- After attempting 33 or more credit hours: 3.0 GPA.
In addition, any student with a term GPA less than 3.0 will be reviewed for possible suspension or probation.
Suspension must be appealed in writing before a student may continue with a subsequent term.
Graduate Academic Probation
Students failing to maintain a cumulative 3.0 GPA who are not placed on academic suspension will be placed on academic probation. Students placed on academic probation may be subject to conditions (provided to the student in writing) under which he or she will be allowed to continue. Such conditions may include requiring the student to repeat the course or courses in which a deficient grade was earned. When a course is repeated, both grades will be averaged to determine the cumulative grade point average.
