Graduate Academic Suspension

Two or more grades of “I” will result in the suspension of the graduate student from classes until only one of the incomplete grades remain. Any student earning a GPA below 3.00 for two consecutive semesters or a GPA below 2.0 for one semester may be academically suspended. All suspensions will be effective through the following semester in the student’s planned program of study. A semester GPA below 3.00 after a suspension may lead to academic dismissal from the program. A student who is notified of an impending suspension may, after consultation with the Financial Aid Office, elect to officially withdraw from the University prior to the end of that semester; however, the suspension will be officially dated at the end of the unsuccessful academic probationary period. To be readmitted after the semester-long suspension period, a student must reapply to the academic program. Students wishing to appeal an academic suspension must do so in writing to the Dean within 30 days of the notice of suspension.
