Eligibility to Continue – Graduate degree students who have been accepted into a degree program must maintain a 3.0 cumulative grade point average for all graduate courses (see exceptions under Course Repetition in the business, education, or psychology section and under Time Limit below). Should a graduate degree student's cumulative grade point average fall below 3.0, that student will be placed on academic probation. During the next semester that the student is enrolled and during each subsequent semester while the student is on academic probation, a 3.0 grade point semester average must be achieved, or that student will be dismissed at the end of the semester. Furthermore, if a student does not achieve a 3.0 cumulative grade point average by the end of 12 hours of coursework taken after being placed on probation, that student will be dismissed from the program.

Readmission After Dismissal – A graduate student may not continue taking courses after being dismissed from the program. By petition to the School of Business or the School of Education or the Department of Psychology and Sociology and on recommendation of the Graduate Advisory Committee, a student may be readmitted for further graduate study, or a student may be denied readmission.
