Graduate Students

Any graduate student, including any student enrolled in the graduate certificate program, who has attempted* 9.0 quarter credits and whose overall cumulative GPA falls below 2.5, will be placed in a warning status the following quarter. The university will notify the student in writing of their academic standing within two weeks after the quarter ends. A student placed on warning status should meet with an Academic Operations Associate upon notification in order to review their academic plan.

If by the end of the warning quarter the student’s overall cumulative GPA remains below 2.5, the student will be academically suspended. They will be notified in writing of their suspension within two weeks after the quarter ends.

A suspended student may enroll again if an Academic Operations Associate recommends an academic recovery plan. Once an academic recovery plan is established, a student's academic status changes from suspension to probation. A student remains in probation status for two quarters. 

If the student’s cumulative GPA is at least 2.5 at the end of the probation period, then the student returns to satisfactory academic standing. If the student’s cumulative GPA remains below 2.5 at the end of the probation period, the student returns to suspension academic standing.

VA education benefits will be terminated for any VA student placed under academic suspension for one calendar year. Benefits may resume when the student returns to satisfactory academic standing.

*A course attempt is one where a grade is received, regardless of whether the course is later repeated.
