Academic Probation Policy

Because of the sequential structure of the MSW Program, MSW students placed on academic probation are allowed to enroll in the subsequent semester of course work to restore their overall grade-point average to 3.0 or higher.  

In cases where students have earned a grade of F in a course(s), their progress in the Program will be suspended until they successfully repeat the course(s).  If they successfully repeat the course(s), and their grade-point average is restored to 3.0 or higher, they are then returned to good academic standing.  If they successfully repeat the course(s), but their grade-point average remains below 3.0, they may then enroll in one subsequent semester of course work to restore their overall grade-point average to 3.0 or higher.  Failure to do so will result in dismissal from the Program.   

No more than two courses with a grade of C or F may be repeated; a given course may be repeated only once.
