Academic Policies and Procedures

Standards of Work
Conferral of either a master’s or doctoral degree requires at least a B (3.0)
grade-point average (g.p.a.). The g.p.a. in formal coursework is computed
separately from the average in research, thesis, and dissertation credits to
determine eligibility for graduation. A g.p.a. of at least B (3.0) is required
in each category. No grade below C (2.0) can be used to satisfy any
degree requirement. Departments may establish more rigorous standards.
All graduate students are expected to maintain at least an overall B (3.00)

grade-point average on a continuing basis. Should you achieve less than
an overall B (3.00) grade-point average, the office of the dean of the
college in which you are enrolled will solicit a written statement from
your departmental graduate committee to justify your continuation in
the program.
