Academic Dismissal

Undergraduate and graduate students whose cumulative grade point average (cumulative GPA) remains below satisfactory academic standing for four semesters of attendance will be academically dismissed from Walsh for a period of one year.

Academic dismissal is calculated based on cumulative credit hours attempted and grades received at Walsh. Academic dismissal is noted on the student’s academic transcript. A student who has been academically dismissed will be contacted by the Director of Academic Advising or designee, administratively dropped from all course(s) and will be issued a full tuition refund including fees.

A doctoral student who has failed to pass the Preliminary Exam and Proposal Presentation Defense after two attempts will be dismissed from the program. The student will be administratively dropped from all courses and will be issued a full refund including tuition and fees incurred that semester. The academic standing designation of dismissal will be noted on the student’s academic transcript.
