A high level of performance is expected of students enrolled for graduate work. To remain enrolled in a degree program, a student must be making satisfactory progress toward completion of the degree. Each department has policies for Satisfactory Academic Progress; check with the specific department for their policies. Non-degree students whose cumulative GPA falls below 3.0 for more than two consecutive semesters may be blocked from further enrollment.
Most important Graduate education policies are published in the UA General Catalog and include (but are not limited to):
- Academic Renewal
- Course Numbering System
- Grade appeal
- Grading System and Policies
- Graduate Faculty policy
- Incomplete policy
- Non-degree seeking students
- Petitions
- Undergraduates taking graduate courses
Students conducting or participating in research should also be familiar with the Office for Responsible Conduct of Research (include Human Subjects information).
