Academic Standing and Probation/Suspension
Regardless of the load carried per semester, each student must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (B) to remain in good standing. If the cumulative GPA falls below 3.0, the student will be declared on academic probation for the following semester. Upon regaining the required cumulative average, 3.0, the student will be in good standing. However, if the student does not meet the cumulative average of 3.0 during the probationary semester, he/she will be declared on academic suspension for the subsequent semester and until reinstated by the Doctoral Council.
Failure to maintain the dissertation completion schedule may result in suspension or academic disenrollment from the program (see Grading System – Doctoral Program).
