Additionally, a graduate student who receives more than 8 credit hours of grades lower than B (3.0) or more than 4 credit hours of grades lower than C (2.0) is subject to dismissal. The department takes one of the following actions if a student does not maintain Good Standing.

The student must get her/his advisor’s approval to take further courses. The student cannot take more than nine credit-hours during the probationary period. The student will be notified of dismissal for the following semester if Good Standing is not regained after the first semester of probation.
