A graduate student may be academically dismissed under one or more of the following violations of satisfactory progress: his/her cumulative GPA remains below 2.70 after one year of coursework while being on academic probation, or lack of progress toward degree completion.

Written approval must come from graduate program director and associate dean for graduate studies.
