Academic Standards
Students must achieve a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.7 in order to graduate; students failing to maintain this GPA will automatically be placed on academic probation. Students who do not bring up their GPA to 2.7 within two subsequent semesters, will be dismissed from the program and their registration for the next semester will automatically be terminated. Students with a GPA lower than 2.0 at the end of the summer semester will be dismissed from the program and their registration for the fall semester will automatically be terminated. Re-admittance to the program is possible after one full year and upon the recommendation of the faculty advisor and the vote of the faculty.
Field education courses which receive less than a “P” will be referred to an academic progress committee for special action which may include termination from the program. At least one semester (excluding summer) must transpire before reapplying. For additional information, please refer to the “Graduate Student Termination Policy” section in this catalog.
