Schoolwide Grade Requirements


Graduate Programs

Although individual academic programs of the Bloustein School provide guidance as to their specific courses and academic standing requirements, there are some general schoolwide requirements that must be met prior to graduation from the institution.

In all graduate programs, the Bloustein School requires that no more than 9 credits of C or C+ grades may be used in meeting the requirements for any degree. All students must also maintain an overall grade-point average of 3.0 or better at all times. In calculating the grade-point average, all courses taken while a matriculated student will be counted. Courses taken as a nonmatriculated student that are to be counted for the degree also will be included in the grade-point average.

Should any of the above conditions not be met, the school may notify the student with respect to the deficiency and provide levels of sanction which can include any or all of the following: warning letters, academic probation, notations on transcripts, and academic dismissal. Students may have the option to repair the record based upon a formal review and what conditions are expressed in the message from the school.


Undergraduate Programs

Program Grade Requirements

Although there are a variety of different policies governing academic standing requirements at the university, there are some general Bloustein School undergraduate program requirements that must be met prior to graduation from the school and completion of the major.

In all undergraduate programs, the Bloustein School requires that courses used to complete the major of study must be completed with a grade of C or better. If a student receives a grade of D in a required course for the major, the course must be retaken and a grade of C or better received in order to satisfy the requirement.
