GENERAL ACADEMIC INFORMATION
CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS Students meeting all entrance requirements will be classified as regular graduate students. A student who does not fulfill all entrance requirements may be admitted on a provisional status until he corrects the deficiency. Any such deficiencies must be removed within one calendar year of a student's admission as a provisional student. Only in rare instances will students be accepted in provisional status. Students will be classified in the program as follows: First year 30 graduate units or less completed Second year 60 graduate units or less completed Third year 90 graduate units or less completed Fourth year 120 graduate units or less completed Fifth year Class work completed and Internship in Progress Dissertation (ABO) All requirements met except for dissertation GRADING SYSTEM Students wishing to obtain a graduate degree must maintain a consistently high academic performance throughout their program. An overall B average, i.e., 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, is required for all degrees. Only grades of A, B, or C earn graduate credit. Grades of all students are recorded in the Office of the Registrar. Grading is on the following basis: Grade Grade Points A Superior achievement 4.00 A- 3 .67 B+ Above average achievement 3.33 B 3.00 B- 2.67 C+ Minimum passing performance 2.33 C 2.00 C- 1.67 F Failure 0 .00 A "W"indicates an official withdrawal from a course and does not affect the student's grade point average. A "UW" indicates an unofficial withdrawal. Students who register for a class but do not attend it are automatically given the grade of "UW"which will influence the grade average the same as an F.
