Retention Policy

A student must have an average GPA of 3.0 overall to be awarded the MA degree. When the GPA falls below 3.0, the student is placed on academic probation. If, after six hours of additional work, the student does not attain a 3.0 overall, the student will be placed on academic suspension. The student may reapply after one year. The department graduate faculty makes the decision on whether to readmit and, if readmitted, the stipulations that will apply.
