Good Academic Standing

The Graduate School has set a minimum grade point average for students to continue graduate work of at least a 2.8 out of 4.0 in the first 30 credits of graduate study. If you do not achieve this average, the Graduate School may cancel your matriculated status. Furthermore, to be awarded a master’s degree, you must have a 3.0 average overall in your official program of study and at least a 2.8 in all graduate courses taken at Syracuse University. The Graduate Records Office will notify you and put you on warning at the end of each term if the cumulative GPA has fallen below a 3.0.

In order to be considered to be making satisfactory degree progress, you must be enrolled in at least six credits per regular (fall, spring) semester. This rule may be waived for part-time students provided you have met with your program director and you have an agreed-upon plan for completing the degree in a timely manner.
