Minimum GPA Requirements, Probation and Dismissal

During the academic review process at the end of each semester, the Office of Student Affairs monitors the academic performance of all students and makes available a support system for those in need of assistance.

Students whose GPAs fall below the minimum requirements are subject to probation or dismissal.

For dual degree students, the Business School GPA is determined by the grades received while in residence at the Business School; and includes all courses taken in those semesters, even those offered by the student's other school. Grades for Business School courses taken while in residence at their other school are not included in their cumulative GPA for the Business School.

Minimum GPA requirements by term and for graduation are as follows:

Timing	GPA Requirement	Consequence
After Term 1	GPA equal to or less than 5.900	Warning
	GPA equal to or less than 4.800	Probation
	GPA equal to or less than 4.400	Dismissal

• A student can appeal his/her dismissal to the Academic Standards Committee that could allow the student to stay in the program under certain conditions.
• A student who was dismissed from the School might apply, via regular admissions procedure, to the program. If admitted he/she might have the option of using credit for certain past courses taken at the School.
