Satisfactory Academic Progress

In addition to maintaining a minimum 3.00 grade-point average, students enrolled in a graduate degree program are required to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress toward degree completion. Failure to meet satisfactory academic progress requirements is grounds for conversion to graduate non-degree status by the Dean of the Graduate College. Each department has its own criteria for evaluation of a student's academic progress. The Graduate College will apply the appropriate department's criteria when the department requests a student's conversion to graduate non-degree status for failure to meet satisfactory academic progress guidelines. Departmental policies on satisfactory academic progress are available from departments and from the Office of the Dean of the Graduate College.
