MASTER'S PROGRAM, SUMMER
Section 200:  Academic Standards

200.11 - Marginal Pass

Most courses in the curriculum are five weeks (one term) in length. Some courses, however, are ten weeks (two terms) in length and are graded once at the end of the ten-week period. The final grade for a ten-week course shall be recorded on the transcript in each of the two terms. A grade of Marginal Pass in a ten-week course will be the equivalent of two Marginal Passes and will be so recorded on the transcript.

To remain in good standing a Plan A student may receive up to one F and two Marginal Passes. A Plan A student who receives an F and three marginal, or lower, passes, in any courses is dismissed from the program. A Plan A student who receives a third Marginal Pass in a required course (or a fourth Marginal Pass overall) will be dismissed from the School.

A BSW Advanced Standing student may receive up to two Marginal Passes in all courses, either required or elective, and still remain in good standing. A third Marginal Pass or an F will result in dismissal from the School.

Students will be notified of final grades of Marginal Pass or Failure through the Office of the Registrar.
