Good Academic Standing and Satisfactory Academic Progress - Graduate Students

Summary

Good Academic Standing and Satisfactory Academic Progress for Graduate Students

Body

St. Cloud State University expects all students to maintain satisfactory academic progress as defined

Graduate Criteria

Criterion 1: Grade point average (GPA) - a graduate student, whether in a degree, certificate, or licensure program, must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0.

A student who does not achieve a satisfactory grade in the first course of a course sequence or a program sequence or a prerequisite course cannot take the subsequent courses in that sequence until the course has been completed with a passing grade of C or better.

Criterion 2: Credit Completion Rate - Successful completion of 2/3 (66.67%) of all graduate credits attempted at SCSU.

For candidates in all graduate programs, courses in which a letter grade of I (Incomplete), IP (In progress), Z (No grade reported), W (Withdrawal), F (Failure), FN (Failure for nonattendance), NA (Never Attended) or U (Unsatisfactory) is received will be treated as credits attempted but not successfully completed. Courses in which a grade of C-, D+, D, D-, is earned will count as credits completed but are not considered satisfactory grades and will not be accepted toward graduate program completion. A grade of R (Registered) is considered satisfactory and not used in computing GPA or completion rate.
