DRAFT REVISION - Graduate Probation and Retention Standards Good Standing

This document outlines the probation and retention standards for graduate students. It defines what constitutes good standing, probation, and dismissal. Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 to remain in good standing. Those who fall below 3.0 will be placed on probation and must raise their GPA within 9 credits or two terms to continue their studies. Students on probation who do not raise their GPA will be dismissed from graduate study. Individual programs may have more restrictive policies, and dismissals can be appealed with compelling evidence.

DRAFT REVISION - Graduate Probation and Retention Standards

Good Standing
1. Students admitted unconditionally who maintain at least a 3.00 cumulative GPA will be
in good standing.
2. Students admitted on probation who achieve and maintain at least a 3.00 cumulative GPA
upon completion of nine graduate credits will be in good standing.
3. Students who have been on probation and subsequently achieve and maintain at least a
3.00 cumulative GPA will be returned to good standing.

Probation
1. Students admitted unconditionally who have a cumulative GPA less than 3.00 upon
completion of nine graduate credits, or anytime after, will be placed on probation. Such
students must raise their cumulative GPA to at least 3.00 within the next nine credits or
two terms (whichever comes first) in order to continue in graduate study.
2. Students admitted on probation must have at least a 3.00 cumulative GPA after
completing nine graduate credits in order to continue in graduate study.
3. Students who have been on probation and subsequently removed from probation will be
returned to probationary status if their cumulative GPA falls below 3.00. Such students
must raise their cumulative GPA to at least 3.00 within the next nine credits or two terms
(whichever comes first) in order to continue in graduate study.
4. Students who have been ineligible and subsequently readmitted will be readmitted on
probation. (New language to cover students who were ineligible due to a grade of “D” or
“F” but whose cumulative gpa is still above a 3.0)

Dismissal
1. Students admitted unconditionally, who subsequently were placed on probation, will be
dismissed from graduate study if their cumulative GPA is below 3.00 after completing
nine graduate credits or two terms (whichever comes first) while on probation.
2. Students admitted on probation will be dismissed from graduate study if their cumulative
GPA is below 3.00 after completing nine graduate credits.
3. Students will be dismissed from graduate study if their semester GPA is less than 3.00 at
any time while on probation after completing the initial nine credits.
4. Students who earn a “D” or “F” in a graduate course will be dismissed from graduate
study. (At the 2/12/10 Grad Council meeting, there was some discussion on whether or
not this should be changed—that discussion probably needs to continue since if this is
changed, we may not need the new language in point #4 under Probation)

Individual programs may have more restrictive policies. Academic action, e.g. dismissal, may be
appealed to the student’s program and Graduate Council through the Office of University
Graduate Studies, if compelling evidence is presented to warrant exception to the policy.
Students should consult with their program director and the academic assistant to the Dean in
their college to prepare an appeal. Graduate students in non-degree study are expected to meet
and maintain the same academic standards as students in degree programs.
