Graduate Student Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

Graduate Students

Measure	SAP Policy
GPA: Graduate students	Graduate students are expected to maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA in all work attempted at С��Ƭ��Ƶ. Podiatric Medicine students are expected to maintain a minimum 2.4 GPA in all work.
Percent Completion: Graduate students	Percent completion will be calculated by dividing overall SAP earned hours by overall SAP attempted hours. Graduate applicants must have completed at lease 65 % of overall SAP attempted hours. Grades of W, WF, WP, F, U, SF, NF, NR, IP (non thesis/dissertation IP), IN, and Z will count as zero in the earned hour calculation and will negatively affect the percent completion calculation. Courses in which a student remained past the add/drop date and earned a grade of "W" or it's equivalent are included in SAP evaluation. In regards to incomplete (IN) grades, once the IN grade is finalized, the new grade would be considered at the next annual SAP evaluation. Students are encouraged to speak with an academic advisor and the Financial, Billing and Enrollment Center prior to withdrawing from a course.
Maximum Time Frame: Graduate students	Maximum time frame will be monitored by academic units. As noted in the С��Ƭ��Ƶ Catalog, graduate students in a master’s program are held to a 6 year time limit and graduate students in a doctoral program a 10-year limit.
