To remain in good academic standing, a Graduate Business degree candidate must earn a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0. Students whose GPA falls below 3.0 are notified by letter that they are on academic probation.
While on academic probation, a student:
- Must achieve at least a 3.0 (term) GPA in each subsequent semester
- Must not receive a grade of F in any course
- MBA students have no more than 12 credits to improve their GPA above a 3.0
- MSA: students have no more than 9 credits to improve their GPA above a 3.0
A student who fails to meet the above conditions will be dismissed from their program. Students on academic probation may not receive Financial Aid until the GPA is above the 3.0 threshold.
Students may take additional elective classes beyond the program requirements in order to achieve the 3.0 GPA minimum. For programs with no electives, students may only repeat classes in which the student earned a B- or lower.
- MBA: Students will be allowed to complete up to 9 credits of graduate-level coursework beyond the program requirement to achieve the 3.0 GPA minimum.
- MSA: Students will be allowed to complete up to 9 credits of graduate-level coursework beyond the program requirement to achieve the 3.0 GPA minimum.
- MAC, MBT & MSF: Students will be allowed to complete up to 9 credits of graduate-level coursework beyond the program requirement to achieve the 3.0 GPA minimum
