UD POLICY: GRADUATE RETAKES
With written permission from your Graduate Program Director or Department Chair, graduate students may retake a single
course, one time, and have the lowest grade excluded from the calculation of their cumulative quality-point average. For
complete details, see http://catalog.udayton.edu/graduate/generalinformation/academicinformation/GradRetake/
GRADUATE STUDENT ACADEMIC STANDARDS POLICY
To be in good standing, a graduate student must maintain a 3.0 quality point average at all times. A graduate
student's academic standing is determined according to the cumulative quality-point average at the end of each
term. In addition:
a) To be in good academic standing, a graduate student must maintain a cumulative quality-point average of at
least 3.0 at all times. A cumulative quality-point average of at least 3.0 is also required for graduation.
b) Thesis and dissertation credits may only be assigned “IP” and “CR” grades and do not count toward the
minimum quality-point average of 3.0.
c) A cumulative quality-point average below 3.0 will result in the student being placed on academic probation.
d) A graduate student on academic probation must complete a written academic recovery contract with his or her
graduate program director which shall specify goals, expectations and a timeline for achieving good academic
standing. This contract must specify the duration of the probationary period, which may not be shorter than one
academic semester nor longer than one calendar year, and must be approved by the student’s academic dean, or
designee.
e) Students whose academic performance has seriously impaired their ability to succeed at the University of
Dayton may be subject to academic dismissal by his or her academic dean, who authorizes the dismissal and
notifies the student of his or her status. Graduate students who may be dismissed include:
1. those who fail to achieve good standing at the end of an agreed upon period of academic probation;
2. those who receive one or more grades of “F”; and,
3. those who have accumulated six or more semester hours of “C” grades, regardless of the cumulativ
e
q
uality-point average.
