Academic Status

Changes in academic status occur when:

• students are placed on academic probation, or
• students are dismissed from the program.

Students will have periodic reviews through a progress check and program milestones. These reviews will ensure that students are on track for program milestones and meeting program expectations.

• Academic Probation: Students must maintain at least a 3.0 grade point average to remain in good academic standing. If a student's GPA falls below 3.0, the academic probation policy will be in effect.
• Doctoral students are expected to abide by the academic and professional conduct standards established in the Student Code of Conduct. Through the conduct process, students who commit conduct violations will receive consequences up to and including suspension and expulsion. 

Appeal procedures in all instances of grievance are handled according to APUS Appeal Policy.
