Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.25 in
the doctoral coursework and dissertation research courses.
Scholastic Standing: Ed.M.
A student who receives more than three grades of C, F, or NC
is performing unsatisfactorily. The student will be so informed and will be
dismissed from the school unless the student's department formally recommends
otherwise. No more than 9 credits offered in partial fulfillment of degree
requirements shall bear the grade of C.
A department may dismiss, with the concurrence of the
Committee on Admissions and Scholastic Standing, any academically deficient
student, provided that the student is kept fully informed of the department`s
dissatisfaction with his or her academic performance and that the departmental
decision to dismiss is careful and deliberate.
Concerning Non-degree Status
Successful completion of courses taken as a non-degree
student does not mean that a student will be admitted to a degree program.
Non-degree students may take as many courses as they wish, but only 12 credits,
and with the approval of the faculty, these credits may be transferred in the
fulfillment of degree requirements in most programs. Application of those 12
credits is at the discretion of the academic department.
Students should
discuss academic matters with the instructor involved with the issue. Should
the problem remain unresolved, the student should approach the department
chair. The department chair may decide the issue or refer the student to the
associate dean. The associate dean may decide the issue or refer the matter to
the Graduate School of Education Committee on Admissions and Scholastic
Standing.
