Departmental Academic Probation:

 

The ASC reviews all student grades in all Departmental courses at the end of each academic semester. The following may result from this review:

 

1.      Your CMD Departmental courses’ GPA for the current semester and your overall (all semesters you have been matriculated) Departmental and overall non-departmental courses’ GPAs are 3.0 or better. You will not be contacted by the ASC.

 

2.      Your CMD Departmental courses’ GPA for the current semester falls below a 3.0 but your overall Departmental and overall non-departmental courses’ GPAs are 3.0 or better. The ASC will contact you by mail indicating: (1) you are on Departmental probation; (2) what you must do to remove yourself from Departmental probation; and (3) that you will be prohibited from engaging in clinical practicum until probation has been removed. Your status will be forwarded to the School of Graduate Studies. You must achieve a CMD Departmental courses’ GPA of 3.0 or better taking into account  the next regular semester’s credits or, the next nine credits, whichever is greater. If you are unable to do this you will be removed from the program. If you accomplish this, The School of Graduate Studies will be apprised of your status and a letter from the Department indicating removal from probation will be sent to you and placed in your file.

 

3.      Your overall GPA is 3.0 or better but your Departmental courses’ overall GPA falls below 3.0.

Your status will be forwarded to the School of Graduate Studies. You must raise your Departmental GPA to 3.0 or better within completion of the next nine Departmental credits. If you are unable to do this you will be dismissed from the program. If you elevate your Departmental GPA to 3.0 or better you will be removed from probation. The School of Graduate Studies will be apprised of your status and a letter indicating reinstatement will be sent to you and placed in your file.
