Regulations:
60% of the total WSU hours must be numbered at the 700 level or above (note that some programs have removed this requirement).
No grade lower than a “C” (generating 2.00 grade points) is acceptable on a Plan of Study.
Approval of a course on a plan of study comes with the expectation that that course will be completed with a grade of “C” or better. If a
lower grade is already in place at the time the plan is approved, approval implies that the course will be repeated with an acceptable grade.
In order to meet requirements to graduate, students must achieve a 3.00 GPA on both the Plan of Study and in the cumulative graduate
GPA at WSU.
Beginning with the Fall 2019 catalog year, all degree students must complete their program’s Applied Learning Requirement in order to
graduate. These will appear in the degree audit. If they do not, please consult with your advisor for details of what must be completed.
