Graduate students must maintain a GPA of at least 2.75 in accordance with the provisions described under Academic Warning. All grades will be included in the computation of the GPA, but no more than two grades of "C+" or lower may be utilized in satisfying degree requirements. Schools/colleges may have more restrictive policies regarding marginal and failing grades. Students are advised to consult the policies of their specific programs.

An "I" (Incomplete) grade is recorded when the student and instructor have determined that the work required for a course cannot be completed within the term of enrollment due to circumstances beyond the control of the student. Under no circumstances will a grade of "I" be given to avoid earning a grade of "F" for the course.

The "I" grade must be removed within the first 60 days of the regular semester immediately following or it is changed to an "F." Any extension of this time must have the written approval of the instructor and dean. This policy does not apply to graduate thesis, thesis-recital and dissertation hours.

"I" grades on theses and dissertations are removed by special reporting forms when the student completes the work.

The grading policies and regulations of the school/college of a student's major apply to his/her academic studies.
