ACADEMIC STANDARDS

Academic Levels of Progress
An assessment of academic standing is made for each student at the end of each term. Each student’s GPA is computed for all UMUC graduate-level graded coursework to make a determination of academic standing as described below.

Good Academic Standing
A student with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher is in good academic standing. Students must be in good academic standing to be considered for graduation.

Academic Probation
A student with a cumulative graduate GPA below 3.0 is placed on academic probation. Academic probation is a temporary status. Students placed on academic probation must restore their GPA to 3.0 or higher by the end of the next term of enrollment. Students on academic probation should seek guidance and advice from the MSIT program director. Any course in which a grade of F is earned must be repeated in the next term of enrollment. Failure to restore the GPA to 3.0 or higher will result in academic dismissal. A student who successfully restores the GPA to 3.0 or higher will be in good academic standing.

Dismissal
A student on academic probation who fails to raise the GPA to 3.0 or higher by the end of the next term of enrollment is dismissed. A student who is dismissed is ineligible for readmission to any UMUC graduate program.
