III. Academic eligibility and probation

  1. Academic eligibility and probation
    1. Good standing. A student whose cumulative GPA is 3.0 or higher is in good academic standing at the Law School.
    2. Academic probation. A student whose cumulative GPA is at least 2.67 but less than 3.0 after completing nine or more credits of coursework will be on academic probation. A student on academic probation may not register for additional courses without the approval of the Dean or the Dean's designee.
    3. Academic suspension. A student whose cumulative GPA is at least 2.0 but less than 2.67 after completing nine or more credits of coursework will be on academic suspension.  A student on academic suspension may not register for additional courses unless the student is readmitted under III.B.
    4. Academic ineligibility. A student whose cumulative GPA is below 2.0 after completing nine or more credits of coursework is ineligible to continue in the M.S.L. program, and may not petition for readmission.
  2. Readmission
    1. Petition for readmission. A student who is on academic suspension pursuant to III.A.3 may petition the Dean or the Dean's designee for readmission. The student's petition will be referred to the faculty Readmissions Committee for review and recommendation. A student may apply for readmission only once.
    2. Review and action by Readmissions Committee. After review, the faculty Readmissions Committee may recommend that a petitioner be readmitted subject to such conditions as the Committee deems appropriate, provided that the circumstances convince the Committee that further efforts by the petitioner following readmission are likely to result in successful completion of the M.S.L. program.
    3. Readmission procedure. If the Readmissions Committee recommends readmission, the petitioner will be permitted to enroll in additional M.S.L. courses, subject to such conditions as the Committee deems appropriate. Following readmission, the student will be on academic probation until such time as the student's cumulative GPA is at least 3.0.
