A student s dissatisfaction with a course grade is, in general, not sufficient grounds for pursing a grade grievance. For extraordinary cases, a procedure for grade grievance is established and must be followed by a student wishing to pursue a grade grievance. This procedure is available in the Office of Vice President for Academic Affairs. Any student whose GPA is below 3.0 will be considered to be on academic probation and may be required to obtain written permission from the program director before registering for additional course work. A student whose cumulative GPA is below 2.7 after completion of 18 credit hours will be dismissed from Graduate Studies.
Any student placed on academic probation or dismissed can submit a request for change of status.
For more information, contact the dean of the appropriate college. Full-time student status is not calculated for Summer sessions. A student must complete all the requirements for the degree within six years of the date of completion of the first course in the program. An extension of the time limit for completion of the degree can be granted only by the dean of the college after consultation with the appropriate program director. In both instances, these require prior approval by the academic program director and dean of the college, and close supervision by a faculty member.
