Graduate Students

 

Withdrawal and In-Progress Grades

Courses with withdrawal (W) grades and those with in-progress (I, IE) grades are included in hours attempted but not in hours passed.

Failure to Meet Academic Review Standards

Academic Probation:  Any graduate student who fails to meet the requirements of the academic plan or fails to meet all of the academic progress criteria is placed on Academic Probation for the next quarter of enrollment.

Academic Dismissal: Dismissal from the University occurs when a student on Academic Probation:

  • Fails to meet all of the academic review criteria

OR

  • Fails to meet the requirements  of the academic plan

Upon dismissal, eligibility for all Federal, State and Institutional aid for NLU courses is withdrawn.

Academic Review Criteria

There are two criteria for measuring academic progress at National Louis University.

Qualitative: Graduate students must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 each term. Transfer credit is not considered in this calculation.

Quantitative: Students must receive passing grades of A, B, C, D, P or X in at least 67% of credits attempted. Credit hours attempted also include withdrawals (W), in progress evaluation (I, IE), no credit (N) and failing (F, FX) grades. Transfer credit is considered in this calculation.

If either of these criteria is not met, the student may be put on Academic Probation. These criteria are cumulative and include all periods of the student’s enrollment.
