  • Master's students (excluding Nursing) must complete all graduate courses with no more than two classes with a letter grade below B-.
  • Nursing students (Master's & Doctoral) must complete all graduate courses with no more than one course with a letter grade below B-.

Students under provisional admission status may be permitted to enroll in specific classes until admission requirements are met. Under provisional status, students may take up to twelve (12) semester hours and must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.00.

Schools and programs may have requirements for continuation, or graduation, in addition to the minimum requirements set forth in this catalog for all graduate programs. It is the student's responsibility to be familiar with the specific requirements of the School or program.
