Academic Review Policy

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.

N.B., Student GPA and grades will be checked to determine status at the end of every semester. The Dean may place a limit on the number of courses a student is able to enroll in each semester if a student’s grades or GPA warrant this. Notification regarding warning, probation, or dismissal will be sent to a student’s UD email account.

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. 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 6 credit hours to clear probation. If after completing 6 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.

Probation and dismissal criteria have precedence over warning status. Students who meet one or more of the following will be subject to dismissal:

  • 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.
