Academic Standards
In order to graduate from the University of Denver, you as a student must maintain minimum academic standards.
Graduate Standards
Graduate students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher to be in good academic standing. Master's students in the Sturm College of Law must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.7. JD students in the Sturm College of Law must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.3.
Any student whose overall grade point average falls below a 3.0 (2.7 for Law Master's, 2.3 for Law JD) is no longer in good academic standing and may be warned, put on probation, suspended, or terminated, depending upon the grade-point deficiency.
Each quarter that a graduate student is on probation, the student must contact the advisor to develop a plan to remedy the academic deficit.
See the Graduate Bulletin for more in-depth description of the University of Denver's academic standards and grading.
