Academic Progression

Master's Program

All graduate students are required to have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or higher to be eligible to receive a Master’s degree from Waynesburg University. To remain in good standing and progress through the curriculum:

  • All courses during the graduate curriculum must be completed with a grade of C (2.00) or higher.
  • A student may receive no more than one grade of C or lower during the curriculum.
  • A student may repeat a course only one time.
  • The student’s cumulative grade point average must be at 3.00.

Students’ academic performance will be reviewed at the end of each eight-week session. If the student receives a grade of C or lower, a letter of warning will be sent to remind the student of the academic progression policy and standards. If the student’s cumulative grade point average falls below 3.00, the student will be placed on probation, and must raise the cumulative grade point average to 3.00 or higher by the completion of the next 6 credits.

Doctoral Program

All doctoral students are required to have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or higher to be eligible to receive a doctoral degree from Waynesburg University.

To remain in good standing, all courses, including any master’s level courses taken during the doctoral program, must be completed with a grade of B or higher.

A cumulative grade point average must be at 3.00 in order to progress in the program. A student who receives a failing grade in any doctoral course must repeat the course prior to program progression. A course may be repeated only once. Only one required course in the doctoral program may be repeated.
