Probation and Academic Withdrawal

Academic Probation

Students must maintain a 3.0 grade point average to remain in good academic standing. A student who has been in good academic standing but who, at the end of any semester, fails to meet the criteria to continue in good academic standing will be placed on probation.  Such a student must re-establish good academic standing within the next two semesters of graduate study undertaken.  Students who do not accomplish this level of performance will be academically dismissed from the School of Public Health. In addition, research course work earning more credit hours of NP than P, regardless of grade point average, will be placed on academic probation. 

Note: During a probation period, students should not receive "I" or "N" grades.  Also, a student's academic advisor can petition, in writing, the academic dean for an extension of the probationary period.
