E. Old Business
Dr. Luebben presented the recommendations of the Graduate Probation and Dismissal Policy task force. Discussion ensued. A decision was made to clarify the
policy by changing the wording contained in the 2003-2005 bulletin ( page 216) as follows:
Probation and Dismissal Policy
The degree requirements of certain programs may exceed those of the Office of Graduate Studies. The student should contact the appropriate program director
for information about specific program requirements.
1. Graduate program GPA (GPGPA)* below 3.0
Upon dropping to a GPGPA below 3.0, a student is placed on academic probation. The director of the student's graduate program is responsible for
notifying the student of such action. A student may remain on probation for up to 12 hours of graduate courses; if after these additional hours of graduate
work have been completed, the GPGPA is not 3.0 or above, the student shall be academically dismissed.
The Council approved these changes to be effective in the fall 2005 bulletin.
F. New Business
Dr. Price requested the Council review the Graduate Course Repeat Policy at the next meeting.
