    *Students who do not meet this requirement must redo the course or abandon the program.

    Probation

    Students who fail to attain good academic standing in a given academic year or in 30 consecutive credits will be allowed to continue in the program on probation for no more than one (1) academic year or 30 consecutive credits.

    If after this time students have not attained good academic standing, they must withdraw from the program.

    Students are encouraged to review all their graded work and to learn from the corrections and feedback supplied by the professors. If a student does not understand a grade they received, they should ask to meet with the professor to review the assignment. After meeting with the professor, if a student believes that they were not treated or graded fairly, they should arrange a meeting with the School Director to discuss the situation. All students have the right to appeal any grade they were awarded and can begin the process by first meeting with the professor of the course and then with the Chair of the Department.
