* A grade of “B-”, “C+”, or “C” is in and of itself is a passing grade. However, a “B-”, “C+”, or “C” grade is below the required overall grade point average of 3.0. If the number of “B-’s”, “C+’s” and “C’s” totals an amount to bring the student’s GPA to below 3.0, then this is not satisfactory performance based on professional expectations.
** Not calculated in the overall GPA.
