1. Meet remaining course requirements beyond those required for initial admission;

2. Maintain a cumulative 3.0 GPA

3. Earn a C or above in every required course and MSW elective;

Students who are unable to earn a C or above in any MSW course or maintain a 3.0 Cumulative GPA (checked at the end of each semester) will need to meet with the MSW Program Coordinator to develop a remediation plan. This remediation plan will remain in effect until the student has successfully (earned a C or better) retaken any necessary courses (courses in which the student earned a grade lower than a C) and raised their Cumulative GPA to at least a 3.0.
