Academic Review Policy
All students are subject to the Academic Review Policy. Student status is reviewed every trimester as grades and documents are received. Satisfactory status will be granted if all admission requirements have been met, a minimum grade point average of 3.000 has been attained (unless otherwise stated on your admission agreement) and required coursework has been successfully completed. A student’s entire graduate transcript is reviewed, including any failed grades that have been successfully repeated.
Warning status will be assigned to those students after their first term of enrollment who meet one or more of the following:
- Earn two or more grades of B- or below
- Have a cumulative GPA below 3.000
- Probation and dismissal criteria have precedence over warning status. For example, if a student receives three grades of C+ or below, he or she is subject to probation with no warning.
Probation will be assigned to students who meet one or more of the following:
- Earn three grades of C+ or below
- Earn one failing grade (C- and below)
- Have a cumulative GPA between 2.500 and 3.000
- A student is allowed 9 credit hours to clear probation. If after completing 9 credit hours, the situation has not been resolved, then the student shall be dismissed. Students who are on probation may not apply for graduation or take a Capstone or Practicum course until probationary status has been cleared.
Dismissal will be assigned to students who meet one or more of the following:
- Two or more failing grades (C- and below)
- Four or more grades of C+ or below
- Two or more grades of C+ or below and one failing grade (C- and below)
- A cumulative GPA of 2.499 or below
- Dismissal criteria have precedence over probationary status. For example, if a student receives two grades of C+ or below and one failing grade he or she is subject to dismissal without a probationary period.
