POLICY AND PROCEDURES FOR GRADING
To remain in good academic standing, normal academic progress in the didactic phase of the LMU-Tampa PA Program requires all students to achieve a minimum of 3.0 G.P.A. each semester.

MINIMUM PASSING COURSE GRADES
|
Students must earn a final course grade of C or better to receive a course credit toward their degree and to continue in the program. Courses in which a student earns a grade below C do not count toward meeting MMS degree requirements and require an academic hearing by the faculty. Earning below a C in a course (< 70.0%) will prevent a student from being permitted to continue in the program. As a policy, the LMU-Tampa PA Program does not round up any grades, including course examination scores and course GPAs. |
ACADEMIC STANDING {A3.14 a,b}
Students are considered in good academic standing if they have met all the following criteria:
- Receive a passing score of 70% (C) or higher in all courses.
- Maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Students who do not meet the above standards will be placed on academic probation and will no longer be in good academic standing. Students who are not in good academic standing will be sent to the SPC for recommendations.
THE C GRADE POLICY
Students who earn a final course grade below "C" in any given semester will be sent to the SPC for recommendations.
