Academic Probation & Dismissal

In order to remain in good academic standing, students in the Graduate School of Business must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.00 (See Satisfactory Academic Progress) 

A student who fails to maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 at any point is placed on academic probation, during which time there is an opportunity to correct the academic deficiency. Graduate students receiving any kind of financial assistance are required to maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0. Failure to do so may result in the loss of funding.

A student placed on probation will:

• receive a written statement about what must be done within a specified time period to return to good academic standing,

• be required to meet with the Dean, and

• be asked to sign a statement indicating that that the probation policy and procedures have been read and understood.

The probationary period will last for the semesters during which the next 9 credit hours are attempted. Therefore, students must achieve a cumulative GPA of 3.0 by the end of that period. Also, progress will be closely monitored during this period. Enrollment in the Graduate School of Business will be automatically terminated for students who fail to achieve a cumulative GPA of 3.0 by the end of the probationary period. Graduate business students will not be allowed to take classes once it becomes mathematically impossible to achieve an overall cumulative GPA of 3.0 by the end of the remaining probationary period.
