Probation, Suspension and Dismissal Policy
Maintenance of Academic Standards: The quality point index requirement is 3.0. If the academic average falls below 3.0, under ordinary circumstance the student will be permitted one semester in which to raise the GPA to 3.0. Extraordinary circumstances necessitating additional time to raise the GPA will be determined in consultation with the academic advisor and the program director.
Failure to raise the GPA to the required 3.0 will result in dismissal from the program.
Maintenance of Program Standards: Each program has standards for progression and academics. Students may be asked to leave the program or removed from classes if dismissed by the School.
Dismissal: Students who do not meet the program standards for progression in their area of study may be dismissed by the Graduate or Doctoral Program Director of their school. Dismissed students should drop their courses through the Registrar's Office to assure a correct bill prior to the start of the term. The Registrar's Office will be authorized to drop dismissed students' classes prior to the start of the term to provide adequate classroom space.
