Academic Standing

Metropolitan College Policy

Graduate Policy

The academic status of graduate students is reviewed by the student’s department at the end of each term. Good academic standing is defined by (1) a term grade point average of at least 3.0 and (2) a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0.

The lowest grade acceptable for units is a B– for most graduate programs, with the exception of Actuarial Science, Computer Science, and Criminal Justice programs, in which case the lowest grade acceptable for units is a C.

Undergraduate Policy

Part-time undergraduate students (degree and nondegree) must maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of not less than 2.0 (C) in order to be considered in good academic standing. For full-time undergraduate students, Metropolitan College strictly adheres to the Boston University policy on Academic Standing for Undergraduate Students in Full-time Programs.
