Academic Probation and Suspension
A cumulative GPA (CGPA) of less than 3.0 leads to academic probation for graduate students:
The Academic Review Committee will meet after each block (every 8 weeks) to review academic records. The Committee may take the following actions for students who have an unsatisfactory cumulative GPA.
- • First occurrence: academic probation
- • Second occurrence: continued academic probation
- • Third and subsequent occurrences: continued academic probation or suspension
A graduate student on Academic Probation is limited to a maximum of 9 credit hours per semester (less if recommended by the Academic Review Committee). Students placed on continued academic probation must receive approval from their Program Chair or designee prior to enrolling in any courses. Academic suspension begins the next academic block.
A suspended student may be reinstated on a probationary status by presenting a written appeal to their college dean and receiving approval from the Academic Review Committee. A suspended student must wait one full semester after the suspension was issued before submitting an appeal.
