Grades and Academic Standing

The minimum passing grade in each course is a B- (80) and is necessary for progression in the program. A grade of C+ or lower in any course is cause for academic review. A course can only be repeated once. Students must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.0 to remain in good academic standing. Academic review will take place if the GPA falls below a 3.0. Students must also maintain a satisfactory rate of progress measured by cumulative attempted credits.

A student is making satisfactory progress when at least 67% of attempted credits have been completed with a passing grade.

The complete Graduate Academic Standing policy can be found in the Graduate Studies Policies section of this Catalog. Additional policies and information for the MSA program are located within the MSA Policies and Procedures Document posted within the MSA Toolbox in all course sites.
