A grade of C- or better must be earned in each course that is to be counted toward degree requirements. If a grade of D+ or below is earned, that course must be repeated or substituted for as required by the Program Director. Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of B (3.00) or higher in order to remain in good standing and complete requirements for the M.S. in Health Law and Policy. Students are placed on departmental probation as soon as their cumulative GPA falls below 3.00. If during the next four courses, students on probation either receive another grade below B or fail to raise their GPA to at least 3.00, they may be dismissed for poor scholarship and prohibited from registering for further course work. A student who attains a cumulative grade point average of 3.75 or higher in all 500- and 600-level courses will graduate "with distinction."
