Academic Probation and Dismissal of Graduate Students

A student who has been admitted to a graduate program of study in the FSE, either on a regular or on a provisional basis, must maintain a 3.0 or higher grade point average in all work taken for graduate credit as well as an overall 3.0 GPA in all studies at ASU.

A student will be placed on academic probation if:

1. The student's GPA falls below 3.0 in the student's approvedprogram of study.
2. The student's overall GPA for all post-baccalaureate coursestaken at ASU falls below 3.0.
3. The student receives a D or E in a required deficiency or in a course at the 400 level or above.
4. For reasons other than above the student fails to make satisfactory progress toward a degree.

A student will be recommended for dismissal from a graduate program if:

1. The student is on academic probation for either reason 1 or 2 above and fails to bring the GPA to 3.0 or above by the time the next 9 semester hours are completed
2. The student receives a D or lower grade while on academic probation for any reason
3. The student fails to obtain at least a 3.0 average in all courses cited as deficiencies upon admission to a graduate program
4. The student fails to meet any other conditions imposed as a part of the probation

A student may appeal any action concerning academic probation and dismissal by petitioning the Graduate Affairs Committee (GAC) within the student's department.
