Academic Standards

A student whose cumulative GPA falls below 3.0 is placed on academic probation. Any student on academic probation is permitted to take a maximum of 9 credits to raise the GPA to at least a 3.0. Failure to obtain at least a 3.0 GPA in that time will result in academic dismissal.

The duration of the dismissal is one term; courses taken at other institutions during the dismissal period cannot be transferred to Bowie State University. In order to be considered for readmission, the student must submit a petition to the Office of Graduate Programs. The seven-year time limitation for degree completion must include the period of dismissal.

A student dismissed for academic dishonesty, as described in Appendix H of UMUC Europe's Undergraduate Catalog (www.umuc.edu/policies/academicpolicies/aa15025.cfm), may not reapply.

Students who lack sufficient academic aptitude or who fail to show evidence of serious purpose may be requested by the director of Graduate Programs to withdraw from the Graduate School.
