Academic Probation for Non-Clincally Based Graduate Programs

Academic probation allows students to resolve barriers to success and improve academic skills and program knowledge.

A student must attain a minimum grade of B in any course required for the major and/or a passing grade for the co-curriculum requirement with the exception of one course that cannot be less than a B-.

.

Criteria to be placed on Academic Probation

  • A student earns a semester grade point average of less than 3.0.
  • A student does not complete the co-curricular requirements.

Procedure

  • The course instructor will e-mail the assistant dean of student services if a student achieves a B- or lower grade or does not complete the co-curriculum requirement.
  • The assistant dean of student services will check the student’s semester GPA to determine if the student is placed on academic probation.
  • The assistant dean of student services will collaborate with the student, the program dean, the academic advisor, and the registrar.
  • A student who meets the criteria for academic probation must set up a meeting with the assistant dean of student services within 1 week of the semester's end. Failure to meet with the assistant dean of student services within the stated time frame will result in dismissal from the program. 
  • Probationary status is resolved when the student achieves a cumulative GPA above 3.0, which must be achieved within the next two semesters enrolled or successfully completes the co-curricular requirement.
  • A student may be placed on academic probation once during the program.
  • The student’s program may extend beyond the published program length since most courses are taught on a rotating basis.

Criteria for Program Dismissal

Any one of the following is grounds for dismissal from the program:

  • A student does not achieve a cumulative GPA above 3.0 within the next two semesters enrolled or does not successfully complete co-curricular requirements.
  • While on academic probation, withdrawal from any course after the Add/Drop Period will result in student dismissal from the program.
  • If the academic probation is resolved, the student must maintain a semester GPA of at least 3.0, or the student will be dismissed.
