Grade point averages are used in determining suitability for continued study or for degree conferred. Graduate students are required to maintain a grade point average of 3.00 for program continuation and degree conferral.
Graduate programs utilize the following grades: A, B, C, F, P(Pass), S (satisfactory), and US (for unsatisfactory).
Grade values are as follows: A, 4.0; B, 3.0; C, 2.0; F, 0.0). Grade values are not assigned for pass, satisfactory and unsatisfactory grades.
A student earning a grade of C or lower in any graduate course results in an official academic warning. No more than three credit hours of C may be applied toward degree credit hour requirements. A cumulative 3.0 GPA is required for degree conferral.
A second grade of C requires the student to repeat the course as a condition of continuance, and the student is placed on Academic Probation until the second C is replaced with a B or higher grade. If the student does not receive a B or higher grade or the student received a subsequent C or lower grade, the student will be suspended for one calendar year and must complete and Application of Readmission.
A student will be placed on academic warning after a single unsatisfactory grade, academic probation after two, and academic suspension after three.
