Graduation Requirements

STANDARDS OF PROGRESS

All candidates must maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher to remain in good academic standing and to graduate. Any student who receives less than a 3.0 and/or three** C's in the program is subject to departmental or School action, including dismissal. Failing grades must be replaced by a passing grade in the same course or the student is subject to dismissal. Not maintaining good standing (3.0) may result in probationary action. During the probation, candidates must meet requirements to be in good standing.

The faculty of the Adrian Dominican School of Education reserves the right of retaining, progressing, and graduating those candidates who, in its judgment, satisfy the requirements of scholarship and personal suitability.
