The minimum for good standing is a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 derived from all courses in which a student has registered and received a grade.
Registration at the Graduate School is a two-part process that consists of registering for individual courses and registering for “residence units” at the University. All students must complete BOTH parts of the registration process. Students in all degree programs are required to register in each fall and spring semester until all degree requirements have been completed or until the time-to-degree limit has been reached.
For further specifics and a checklist of requirements, students should consult the PhD Graduate Handbook.
