Candidates for the master`s and doctor`s degrees are expected to earn grades of B or better in their course work. No more than 9 credits with a grade of C or C+ may be used in meeting the requirements for a master`s degree.

The Graduate School-Newark requires that all students maintain a minimum cumulative B average during each term of study in order to remain enrolled. If a student`s academic performance falls below the expected standard, the program or the school may review the record and make recommendations concerning that student`s future registration in the Graduate School-Newark. Failure to maintain the minimum cumulative average may result in academic dismissal.
