Scholastic Standing

All students are required to maintain an average of B (3.0) or higher throughout the criminal justice curriculum.

Each term, a faculty committee reviews the academic record of enrolled students and makes recommendations to the program director for warning, probationary status, or dismissal of students. The director notifies the student in writing of any action taken.

Warnings: A student is warned if his or her total GPA falls below the minimum 3.0 and is required to meet with the program director to resolve any problems.

Probation: A student is placed on probation if he or she has not earned a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 after completion of 12 credits of course work. Students on probation are limited to a less-than-full-time load, and their class schedules must be approved by the program director.

Dismissal: A student is subject to dismissal if he or she has not earned a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 after completion of 18 credits of course work.

Incomplete Grades: All of the rules of the Graduate School-Camden regarding incomplete grades apply to the program in criminal justice. Whereas a student may acquire two grades of Incomplete (IN), a student who acquires a third IN is placed on probation and is required to appear before the faculty review committee to explain the reasons for his or her difficulties in completing course work.

Student Appeals: If a student presents written evidence of technical error or the existence of extenuating circumstances that were not taken into consideration at the time the academic decision was made, an academic review of the scholastic standing decisions may be granted by a faculty committee. The faculty committee has the option of requiring remedial work or setting other conditions for continuation in the graduate program.

Student Complaints about Grades: A student with a complaint about a grade for a course must submit the complaint in writing to the course instructor within one week of the receipt of the grade. In the event of an unsatisfactory resolution of the dispute, the student may appeal to the program director. Such appeals must be made in writing no later than one week following the date of the unsatisfactory resolution. A further appeal within one week of the director's decision may be made to the dean of the Graduate School-Camden.
