Qualitative Standards

At the end of each SAP review period:

  • Undergraduate degree or certificate-seeking students must maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0
  • Graduate degree-seeking students must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0
  • Physician Assistant Studies Program students must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5

Repeated coursework is allowed, according to the CSM Academic Catalog, for C, D, and F grades. The highest CSM grade earned will be used by the Registrar’s Office to calculate cumulative GPA.
