Academic work is graded on a scale of A, B, C, D, and F. Grades below C are unacceptable for graduate credit. Graduate students in educational leadership are required to maintain an overall average of B (3.00) or better in program courses. The required cumulative G.P.A. for earning the master's is 3.00 or better on a 4.00 scale; specialist degree students are required to have a cumulative of 3.25 or better. Thesis (Ed 798s/699), Individual Study (Ed 797/697), and Practicum (Ed 794) are graded as S (Satisfactory) or U (Unsatisfactory). S (Satisfactory) is defined as coursework that is graded at "B" level or above.
Students whose overall G.P.A. falls below 3.00 in the graduate program will be placed on probationary status. The student's record will be reviewed by the Educational Leadership Program chair after the completion of 8 additional semester credits to determine continuing status. If, after the completion of the 8 additional semester hours of credit, the G.P.A. is still below 3.00, the student is subject to dismissal from the program.
