Grades, Academic Performance and Progress
Satisfactory progress toward a degree in the School of
Graduate Studies requires that a student maintain a cumulative
grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.8 for all courses
attempted. A minimum grade of C (or satisfactory in courses
graded S and U) must be earned for each course applying toward a
graduate degree, and a 2.8 cumulative GPA in all courses
attempted toward the degree is required for graduation.
Academic Probation and Dismissal
Any student whose cumulative GPA for a degree program drops
below a 2.8 is placed on academic probation. Such status is
noted on the student's academic transcript. While on probation,
the student must earn a minimum of a 3.0 each semester until the
cumulative GPA is raised to at least a 2.8. Students who fail to
earn at least a 3.0 each semester while on probation shall be
considered for academic dismissal from the School of Graduate
Studies.
Transfer Credit
Transfer of graduate credit is never automatic; any credits
transferred do not reduce the residence requirement for any
advanced degree. At the discretion of the Associate Dean and the
faculty of the major program, up to 6 semester hours of credit
toward a master's degree may be transferred. A request for
credit transfer should be initiated by the student through the
program's director.
Withdrawal from the School of Graduate Studies
A student who wishes to withdraw from the program should
complete the procedures outlined on the Withdrawal Form
available in the Registrar's office. To re-enter the program,
the student must complete a reactivation form, which may be
obtained from the Registrar's office. If the student is not
pre-registered for the term, it is not a withdrawal.
