Important Graduate Policy on GPA (Grade Point Average)
The policy below applies to students enrolled in University of Georgia College of Pharmacy Regulatory Affairs and Clinical Trials Program.
Applies to both the Regulatory Affairs and Clinical Trials Certificate Students:
If a student is enrolled in a certificate program (as a non-degree student) and finishes the certificate courses with a GPA of less than a 3.0, a certificate will not be rewarded.
Applies to MS Students:
If a student is enrolled in the Masters of Science Degree Program with an emphasis in Regulatory Affairs, and finishes the certificate courses with a GPA of less than a 3.0 a certificate will not be rewarded.
General Information from the UGA Graduate School for ALL students:
To be eligible for graduation, a student must maintain an average of 3.0 (B) both on the graduate transcript and on all courses on the program of study. No grade below C (2.0) will be accepted as part of a program of study for a graduate degree.
When a graduate course is repeated, the last grade received will be used in calculating the cumulative graduate average that is used for probation, dismissal, admission to candidacy, and graduation. Grades received in all graduate courses will be included in the graduate cumulative average.
Students with a cumulative graduate course average below 3.0 for two consecutive terms are placed on academic probation by the Graduate School. They then must make a 3.0 or higher semester graduate average each succeeding semester that their overall cumulative graduate average is below 3.0. These students are no longer on probation when their cumulative graduate average is 3.0 or above. If they make below a 3.0 semester graduate average while on probation, they are dismissed. When students repeat a graduate course, the last grade will be utilized to calculate the cumulative graduate average that is used for probation, dismissal, admission to candidacy and graduation. Grades of S, U, I, and V will not be used in calculating the cumulative graduate average. However, when a grade of I converts to F, this may result in an action of probation or dismissal for the semester in which the conversion takes place, even if the student is not registered for the semester in which it converted. When students are dismissed under the terms of this policy, they may not apply for admission to another graduate program offered by the University.
