Academic Standing

Graduate students in the Masters programs must maintain a 3.0. Students whose cumulative GPA drops below a 2.7 will be dismissed from Trine University. Students whose cumulative GPA falls between a 2.7 -2.99 will be given a probationary notice and asked to submit a self-assessment. This will only be permitted once and the student must then achieve a 3.0 by the end of the following semester. A student who is dismissed may apply for readmission immediately by contacting the Program Director and completing the re-admit form, providing a 3-4 paragraph written statement explaining why he/she was not meeting academic standards and outlining a plan for his/her future success. The re-admit form requires students to submit a plan for raising their cumulative GPA back to 3.00.

The Graduate Council will determine the outcome of the re-admit request.

Students whose cumulative GPA is below 3.0 and are on academic probation due to GPA, will not be eligible to participate in Curricular Practical Training (CPT) during the semester of probation. Students will regain eligibility once the academic probation has been lifted and they are in good academic standing of a 3.0 or higher.
