POLICY ON GPA REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATE PROGRAMS – Approved on June 1, 2006

Students pursuing a Graduate Degree must maintain a minimum 3.0 (B) average in the formal program and the cumulative grade point average once admitted to the program.  No grade below a “C” can be counted in the formal program.  Any grade of “C-” or below in the formal program must be repeated after an approved course repeat form has been filed. If the student does not receive a “C” or better on the 2nd attempt, the student will be disqualified from the program.  A maximum of 6 units in the formal program may be repeated at the graduate level.  The repeat grade will appear on the transcript.  Departments may have higher standards that take precedence over the university policy.
