Graduate Academic Standing

Graduate Academic Standing

Students whose cumulative graduate grade-point average (GPA) fall below a 3.0 will be placed on academic probation.
Students on probation may not be registered for more than 6 credits in any one semester (including extensions).

Students whose GPA falls below a 3.0 in the semester prior to the completion of their program will be required to take additional courses to raise their GPA to 3.0 or above to meet the minimum graduation requirements.

The GPA must be restored to a 3.0 or above during the next 9 credits. If the GPA is not restored to a 3.0 or above, the student will be dismissed from the graduate program.

Students may appeal dismissal from a graduate program by submitting an appeal to the School dean. Appeals will only be considered in instances where it is feasible for the student to reach a 3.0 TESU GPA in their remaining courses for the degree. See the Academic Appeals Policy.
