Academic Eligibility Regulations

Graduate Students

A graduate student becomes academically ineligible to continue in the Graduate School if s/he receives any grade of F or receives nine or more credit hours of L. Students who become academically ineligible will have their registration automatically cancelled by the Graduate School. When special circumstances warrant, students made ineligible may be reinstated by petitioning the Graduate School. Each petition (submit an Application for Reinstatement) must be accompanied by a statement of endorsement or non-endorsement from the appropriate program director at the School of Nursing. Graduate students made ineligible should contact the appropriate program director at the School of Nursing for information regarding the petition process. After reinstatement, any subsequent grade below P will result in the student's ineligibility.

Incomplete Grades

A grade of incomplete (IN) will be changed automatically to an F if the IN is not removed within 12 months. The student is then academically ineligible to continue studies and must seek reinstatement to the Graduate School and the School of Nursing through the Office of Academic Affairs.

Continuing Education Students

A postmaster's student will be unable to proceed in their program of study if he or she receives a grade of F, or if he or she receives a grade of L in more than 20% of the total credits in the student's plan of study.
