GPA Requirements for Graduation Eligibility

Students must hold a GPA (Grade Point Average) of 3.0 or above to be eligible to have their Master’s degree conferred, or their graduate certificate issued, after completing all of their course requirements.

Courses transferred from other universities, or from a completed APUS program into a subsequent APUS program, are not included in the calculation of a student's cumulative GPA when applied as residential or transfer credit.

If a student completes all of the courses for their program but has a GPA below 3.0, we can issue them a letter of program completion. They will not actually earn the degree or certificate.

For more information on GPA requirements, students should contact their Academic Advisor at [email protected].
