Grade Point Average

Satisfactory performance for graduate study is defined as the maintenance of a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0/4.0, as reported by the Office of the Registrar. If a student repeats a course, the last grade issued for the course will be used to compute the cumulative GPA. Students should consult the section on Repeating a Course within the Graduate Catalog for course repeat limitations. Once a student has completed a course and received a grade, it may not be dropped or excluded from their record to raise the GPA required for graduation (with the exception of course repeats for grade replacement).
