Student Academic Progress
Satisfactory progress and dismissals
Additional GPA requirements: At the end of each semester, the Graduate College reviews students who were admitted with additional GPA requirements to determine if they have successfully met the requirements. The Graduate College may dismiss the student from the program if the student does not successfully meet the requirements within the specified time period. The Graduate College oversees the review and there is no appeal process.
Additional course requirements: At the end of each semester, the Academic Unit reviews students who have been admitted with additional course requirements. Once the student has completed the additional course requirements outlined by the Academic Unit upon admission, the Academic Unit will send a letter to the student informing them that they have met the requirements. If the student does not successfully complete the additional course requirements, the Academic Unit will notify Graduate College and recommend the student for dismissal from the program. The Academic Unit oversees the review and there is no appeal process.
Automatic Low GPA Probation: The Graduate College will conduct a GPA audit at the end of each semester. Any graduate student with a cumulative GPA below 3.00 will automatically be placed on academic probation. Students will receive an alert on MyASU and an email notifying them that they have been placed on academic probation and that they must contact their Academic Unit. Automatic Low GPA Probation does not replace a Probation Notice from the Academic Unit.
Satisfactory Progress Review: At the end of each semester, the Academic Unit reviews its graduate students’ academic records to ensure that students have met the degree, Academic Unit, College/School, and Graduate College satisfactory progress policies.
