Graduate Academic Standards

While the University awards honors at the undergraduate level for successful academic achievement, this achievement is expected for graduate study. Graduate students are required to maintain a minimum 3.0 CGPA throughout their enrollment in a graduate degree program. In addition to the CGPA requirements, a student must successfully complete at least 66.67% of the credits attempted by the end of their first academic year, and then each grading period thereafter, in order to be considered to be making satisfactory academic progress at the graduate level. Credits attempted are defined as those credits for which students are enrolled in the term and have incurred a financial obligation.
