To continue in your graduate program beyond the first term or summer session, the student must:
Meet any requirements imposed in writing by the Graduate Studies Committee;
Have approval of the Graduate Studies Committee.
The Graduate Studies Committee is responsible for evaluating students in its programs to ensure they are making satisfactory progress toward a degree. If a Graduate Studies Committee finds that a student is not making satisfactory progress, it may recommend to the Dean of Graduate Studies that the student’s program be terminated.
Warning Status
A student whose graduate grade-point average falls below 3.0 at the end of any term or summer session will be warned by the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (OGPS) that their continuance in their graduate program is in jeopardy.
During the next term or summer session for which the student is registered, he or she must attain a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.0 or be subject to dismissal.
During this period, the student may not drop any course or withdraw from the university without the approval of the graduate adviser and the graduate dean.
Dismissal & Readmission
Students who have been dismissed from OGPS may be readmitted for further graduate study only by petition of a Graduate Studies Committee to the Dean of Graduate Studies. The petition and readmission must be approved by the dean.
Warning status and academic dismissal are reflected on the student’s record.
