The doctoral grade point average (GPA) is defined as the GPA for all courses numbered 6000 or higher taken after admission to the doctoral program. Each student must maintain a 3.00 doctoral GPA ("B" average). A student whose doctoral GPA falls below 3.00 is on scholastic warning. After being placed on scholastic warning, a student must attain a 3.00 doctoral GPA within two consecutive calendar semesters; otherwise the individual will be terminated from the doctoral program of the Robinson College of Business.
(Note: The doctoral GPA could differ from the GPA calculated by the University and reported on the student's official transcript, since the University GPA would also include the grades from any graduate courses numbered 6000 or above taken at GSU before admission to the doctoral program).
No student will be permitted to sit for any examination required for a doctoral degree, other than course examinations, without having a doctoral GPA of at least 3.00 at the time the examination is to be taken. A student with a doctoral GPA below 3.00 is ineligible for graduate assistantship appointments as either a GRA or GTA.
A student who has been terminated from the doctoral program will not be permitted to reapply to or reenter the Ph.D. in Business Administration program.
