All required courses must be passed with a grade of B or better. Required courses in which a grade below B has been received must be repeated to achieve a B, unless the Executive Committee of the CMP Graduate Program approves other remediation.
A minimum overall Grade Point Average of 3.0 must be maintained. Should a student's GPA fall below 3.0, one additional year of coursework will be permitted to allow improvement unless the Executive Committee of the CMP Graduate Program approves other remediation. Students failing to remediate grade point average benchmarks or those set by the Executive Committee will be asked to leave the Program. A notice of termination will be sent to the Dean of the Graduate School - New Brunswick.
Note: The general academic status of the student is monitored by the student’s advisor. It is essential that the student’s advisor make sure that each student maintains good progress toward his/her degree. The entire Doctoral Program must be completed in no more than seven years.
