Provisional Status

Graduate students with a cumulative grade point average lower than 2.750 – but not below 2.000 – will be admitted on a provisional basis. Provisional admission requires a minimum cumulative grade point average of “B” (3.000) in the first two graduate courses.  These first two courses must be within the degree program and may not be repeated for a higher grade to meet provisional admission requirements.  Students who are readmitted or are pursuing a second master’s degree that have previously met provisional admission requirements with a cumulative Walsh College grade point average of 3.000 or higher will be considered as having met provisional admission requirements and will be admitted fully.

Failure to meet the requirements of the provisional status will result in dismissal which prohibits the student from enrolling in any further courses at Walsh College for a period of one year. After a period of one year, provisionally dismissed students may be eligible to reapply to a Walsh College graduate degree program. Upon readmission, all admissions policies in effect at that time will be applied toward a student’s application and evaluation process. A second provisional dismissal is considered final, and the student will not be eligible for readmission to Walsh College.
