Academic Standing
Graduate students must be in good academic standing with the School of Graduate Studies, their program, and their Academic Navigators. The School of Graduate Studies regularly reviews the record of any student who received grades of S/C/E or I in courses numbered 500 or above. This review could result in academic probation with a hold on future enrollment, and the student may be suspended from graduate studies.
The School of Graduate Studies requires that students maintain a minimum graduate GPA of 3.00 in courses taken as a graduate student (excluding research, audit, credit/no credit, and pass/fail courses). The School of Graduate Studies also considers Incomplete (I) grades to be unsatisfactory if they are not removed during the subsequent semester of enrollment; however, the instructor may impose an earlier deadline. The School of Graduate Studies may also put students on probation for incompletes not cleared within one Term. All incomplete grades must be resolved before a degree is granted.
If students were admitted on probation and they satisfy the conditions outlined at the time of admission, the probationary status will be removed automatically. Once their studies have begun, students are expected to make satisfactory progress toward their degree.
