GOOD ACADEMIC STANDING - GRADUATE
Effective: August 15, 2024
Purpose: To specify the minimum academic performance required of all graduate students as measured by Grade Point Average (GPA) and the consequence for failing to meet that minimum.
Scope: This policy applies to all University graduate students campus wide.
Responsible Office: Academic Affairs; Registrar’s Office; Financial Aid Office
Policy Statement: Students enrolled in a graduate degree program or graduate assistantship position must maintain a 3.0 grade point average (GPA) each semester and meet their academic unit’s academic progress criteria toward degree completion.
When a student’s semester GPA falls below 3.0, the student will be placed on academic probation and may be dismissed from their graduate assistantship position at the discretion of the academic unit.
Two consecutive semesters of a GPA below 3.0 will result in termination of the graduate assistantship. The academic unit may reappoint the student to a graduate assistantship when the student’s cumulative GPT is 3.0 or better and the most recent semester GPA is 3.0 or better.
Definitions: All words and phrases shall be interpreted utilizing their plain meanings unless otherwise defined in another University or Board of Regents policy or by statute or regulation.
Procedures: All procedures linked and related to the policies above shall have the full force and effect of policy if said procedures have first been properly approved by the University’s administrator in charge of Academic Affairs.
