Grading Policies

The grading policies and scale for graduate programs are identical to those for undergraduate programs, except as noted below. 

A minimum score of 80 is required for all graduate courses.  Grades earned below the minimum of 80 will be awarded an F. Students in graduate programs must maintain a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of a 3.0 or better; students who fall below this requirement will be in SAP Warning status (see Satisfactory Academic Progress – Graduate Programs). Students who receive two grades of F at any time during the program, will be dismissed. A student must re-take a course for which a grade of F was earned. Even if the course is repeated, the original earned grade counts as one of those attempts and the student may not receive another grade of F.
