To be in good academic standing, students are required to maintain a cumulative 2.0 average on the 4.0 system. Each grade reported as having been earned by the student at the end of a semester or summer term will be included in computing the cumulative grade point average. The student should observe that the grade “F” carries zero quality points and will be included in the computation. The grade of “I” will not be computed until after some disposition has been made concerning it (See grade descriptions for more information).
