Once admitted, a student must maintain continuous enrollment (be enrolled in at least one course every fall and spring semesters, summer does not count).  You must meet degree requirements within six years from the date of admission.

You must maintain a GPA of at least a 3.0.  When the cumulative GPA falls below 3.0, the graduate student is placed on academic probation and has one calendar year to raise the GPA to at least 3.0.

If a student earns one (1) grade of C in a semester, the student is placed on academic probation.

If a student earns more than one (1) grade of C, the student will be dismissed from the graduate program and North Carolina Central University. If a student earns one (1) grade of F in a semester, the student will be dismissed from the graduate program and North Carolina Central University.

If placed on academic probation, you must be removed from academic probation in order to graduate. Students on Academic Probation will not be able to graduate until they have met the conditions to be removed from academic probation. If a student is placed on academic probation and fails to meet the conditions for removal from academic probation in one year, the student will be dismissed from the program and North Carolina Central University.
