Academic Policies

Scholastic Average

A minimum grade point average of 3.00 (B) for all graduate course work attempted is required for a graduate degree; failure to maintain this average may result in suspension.

Although grades of D and lower are included in the computed grade point average, no credit will be given for courses in which the student receives a grade below C+.

The cumulative grade point average and the Four-C rule (see below) are based upon all of the student's graduate course work taken at the University of Houston, including repeated courses for which grade point values are assigned. Grades of S, U, I, and W are not assigned grade point values.

Four-C Rule

A graduate student who receives a grade of C+ or lower in 12 semester hours of credit attempted at this institution for graduate credit or for application toward the graduate degree, whether or not in repeated courses, is ineligible for any advanced degree at this institution and will not be permitted to re-enroll for graduate study.

Continuous Enrollment

The graduate student who is not enrolled should not expect to be able to use the facilities of the University of Houston campus. Students who cannot enroll in a given semester must apply to their college for a leave of absence in order to remain in good standing. Students should contact the office of the dean for individual college regulations on enrollment. A student who does not return to enrolled status at the end of an approved period of leave is no longer considered to be pursuing an advanced degree.
