Grade Point Average
At the conclusion of each semester of the program, all students’ records will be reviewed. Per Institute policy, students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0. Per Program policy, students must achieve an individual course grade of B- (2.7) or better. If these standards are not met, students will be placed on academic probation and are at risk of losing their financial aid and/or scholarships. Students on academic probation must regain a cumulative 3.0 GPA within the next semester in which full time study is resumed or they will be subject to dismissal from the program.
Students must have a cumulative 3.0 GPA at the completion of academic study, prior to entering Level II Fieldwork. If a student has not achieved this standard, a recommendation may be made for dismissal from the program or the student may be required to fulfill certain remedial activities. Remedial activities may include, but are not limited to, repetition of professional courses or taking additional electives, additional fieldwork experiences, or an independent study. Such remediation may result in a delay in starting fieldwork and progression toward completion of the degree.
