Minimum Graduation Requirements

Successful completion of Rochester University’s graduate programs requires students to complete the following:

All required graduate courses at a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better.
The capstone and/or thesis and clinical practicums with a positive evaluation and approval by the faculty.
No more than two courses with a grade of C or less.
A student may not repeat a class more than once.
Remain in good standing to graduate.
Maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 (B) on a 4.0 scale to be in good standing with the university. At the end of each semester (including summer), the Registrar and Student Financial Services review the student's record to determine whether the student is meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements. Academic/Financial Aid action notices are distributed after final grades are recorded for the semester and students are notified in writing if an Academic/Financial Aid action has been taken (outlined in the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy).
