Academic Overview
Academic Policies
Academic progression and completion of the program are based on the following requirements:
- Completion Criteria: 2.70 cumulative GPA average or above in all courses within the final Global Pathways term.
- Progression Criteria: 2.70 cumulative GPA average or above in all courses within any Global Pathways term.
If GPA of 2.70 is not achieved:
- Probation Criteria: 2.69 and below cumulative GPA average. 蝌蚪传媒 may repeat all courses with a C grade or below. Regular advising and tutoring will also be mandated. A student may be dismissed from 蝌蚪传媒 if they are unable to achieve the required 2.70 cumulative GPA average upon completing their probationary term.
- Dismissal: 蝌蚪传媒 with a 1.0 cumulative GPA or below will be dismissed from 蝌蚪传媒.
