B. Academic Standing The Office of the University Registrar compiles a transcript of each student’s academic record. A copy of this transcript is available to the student, the department chair, the program director’s office, the dean’s office, the SPAC, the Office of Student Financial Assistance, and other individuals or facilities when authorized by the student, program director, or dean. The transcript includes • grades earned (including remediated failures) • deficiencies (incompletes, failures, etc.) • semester GPA and cumulative GPA • honors (final transcript only, if indicated) • withdrawal and/or leaves of absence A student is considered in good academic standing when the student is not on probation or dismissal and also has a cumulative (overall) grade point average (GPA) equal to or greater than 3.0. Students with a GPA of less than 3.0 will be placed on probation and will not be considered in good academic standing. A student who is not in good academic standing is at risk of not graduating. In Progress (IP) When the work for a particular course extends beyond the semester of registration, a grade of in progress (IP) may be assigned. The student does not reregister for that course. Time allowed to complete outstanding work will be determined by the course director. A maximum of two consecutive academic semesters may be given to complete the course, including the semester of registration. After that time, the grade of IP will be converted to the grade earned. An IP grade may be granted only if the student is maintaining a passing average on all required coursework up to the point of the request. Students, rather than faculty, must initiate a request for an IP grade. A student must discuss with the student’s instructor the need for an IP grade in the course and then make a formal, written request to the instructor for an IP grade. The program director must be notified of this request. Such requests, unless there is an unexpected medical emergency, must be approved two weeks before the last regularly scheduled class.
