Academic Standing
All graduate students are required to maintain a cumulative gradepoint average (CGPA) of at least 3.0. Failure to meet the minimum CGPA is evidence of unsatisfactory progress and the matter will be considered by the Graduate Program Committee. In the case of a graduate course taken at another university, which the student intends to use as credit towards a graduate degree, an official transcript must be submitted to the Graduate Program Committee upon completion of the course. Course credit will only be given if the student achieves a grade of B or better.
