Students must maintain a grade point average of 3.0 or better on all graduate level course work. Students who receive grades of "C-", "D", "F", or "U" in any graduate course must repeat the course with a grade of "C" or better. In addition, any student whose GPA falls below 3.0 or receives two or more unsatisfactory grades ("C-", "D", "F", or "U") in graduate status, regardless of units completed, may be disqualified from the MSTM program.
