The 3.0 grade point average required for the awarding of the MBA degree requires close monitoring of the graduate student's academic progress. If a student receives a C- or below he/she must repeat the course. Both grades will be included in the GPA.  Students whose GPA has dipped below 3.0 are placed on probation and will be permitted to enroll in an additional 6 credit hours (two courses).

A student will be dismissed from the program for any of the following reasons:

• Failure to raise GPA to a 3.0 within 6 credit hours of subsequent coursework
• Maintaining a cumulative GPA below 3.0 after 12 credit hours of work
• Receiving of three grades of C
• Receiving of a grade of F in any graduate course results in immediate dismissal
• Failure to abide by the School of Business and Economics’ Standards of Professional Conduct
