Graduate Retention Standards

Graduate students must maintain an overall 3.0 GPA in their required courses. A cumulative 3.0 GPA is required to graduate. Students whose overall GPA falls below a 3.0 are placed on academic probation and will have an 8-credit probationary period in which to raise their grades to a 3.0 GPA. Students failing to do so will be dismissed. See the respective degree programs for additional graduate retention standards specific to the program. 

Graduate-level courses do not affect the grade point average for the bachelor’s degree. Likewise, undergraduate-level courses do not affect the grade point average calculated for the graduate degree program.
