Good Standing
No grade lower than B– may be used toward degree, diploma, or certificate requirements. Students below a 3.0 cumulative GPA are on academic probation status. After being placed on probation students must, the following semester, make satisfactory progress toward achieving a minimum of 3.0 and be in a position to graduate with a 3.0 or better within the remaining program courses. Students who, in the determination of the department and based on past student performance, are not in a position to raise their GPA to the necessary level to graduate within the remaining courses, will be terminated from the program.
