Academic Probation

A student whose grade point average in his or her graduate coursework falls below 3.0 after the completion of at least six (6) hours of graduate level classes begins the next semester on Academic Probation. A student must earn a GPA of 3.0 or higher in graduate coursework each semester while on Academic Probation.

One of three possible actions will be implemented for a student on Academic Probation at the end of each term of enrollment:

1)  A student who earns a semester GPA of 3.0 or higher in graduate coursework and raises his or her overall GPA to 3.0 or higher in graduate coursework will return to Good Academic Standing.

2)  A student whose semester GPA in graduate coursework is 3.0 or higher, but whose overall GPA in graduate coursework remains below 3.0, will remain on Academic Probation.

3)  A student who earns a semester GPA in graduate coursework below 3.0 while on Academic Probation, regardless of the overall graduate coursework GPA, will be on Academic Suspension for one semester.
