GPA and Probation Policies

 

In compliance with Graduate School rules, graduate students must maintain a GPA of 3.00 or higher in order to be in good standing.   Students cannot graduate if their GPA is below 3.00.

Please note that the term "GPA" includes three different numbers, all of which need to satisfy the requirement of 3.00 or higher.

1. The grade point average of all courses (3000 level and above) taken while classified as a graduate student;
2. The grade point average of all ECE graduate level courses taken while classified as a graduate student;
3. The grade point average of all graduate level courses that are part of a minor.

An academic hold will be placed on the records of all students whose GPA is below 3.00, thus placing the student on academic probation.   These students will be able to register for courses only through the Student Services Office.   This will enable our office to provide advice and guidance on an individualized basis.

Students with a GPA below 3.00 must show progress each semester towards improving their GPA, even if it takes more than one semester to reach a GPA of 3.00 or higher.

Students with a GPA below 3.00 and who do not raise their GPA the following semester will be dismissed from the program.
