Graduate Students
To remain in good academic standing, graduate students must
- Maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher.
- Maintain a grade point average of 3.0 or higher in the subject major or emphasis area.
- Adhere to requirements set by their academic programs.
Note: If individual programs have more stringent definitions of probationary or suspension status than does the University as a whole, that program’s definitions will prevail over the University’s definition.
In addition to these criteria, students must attain a final cumulative 3.0 in the major field or emphasis area in order to qualify for graduation. Students may be permitted to take additional coursework beyond the degree requirements to achieve the necessary minimum 3.0 GPA in order to graduate. These additional courses must be approved by the Chair of the major or emphasis area department.
