MAC Academic Guidelines

The following standards apply to all MAC degree candidates:

• A faculty member teaching a graduate-level course may assign a grade with either a plus (e.g. B+) or minus (e.g., B-). See section on Academic Policies and Requirements (Grading System) in the U of L Graduate Catalog.
• Upon admission into the program, a 3.0 grade point average must be maintained. The calculations exclude transfer work.
• Grades of "A", "B", or "C" are the only grades to be considered as passing. An "F" will be used in calculating the grade point average (in terms of academic standing).
• A maximum of six hours in 600-level courses with a grade of "C" may count toward the completion of degree requirements.
• A student who has received a grade "C" or "F" may repeat the course upon approval of the COB Associate Dean and the MAC counselor. When a student repeats a course, the grade point average will be calculated on the basis of the last grade attempted, although all previous grades will remain on the transcript.
• A 3.0 grade point average must be maintained or the student will be placed on probation. If the student does not restore the grade point average to a 3.0 by the end of the next semester of enrollment, the student will be dismissed from the program.
• An academically dismissed student is required to discontinue course enrollment for a minimum of one semester. After the semester of dismissal, the student may submit a written petition to the MAC counselor requesting readmission. Such a request must be submitted at least 40 days prior to the semester in which enrollment is requested.
• Students are restricted to no more than 3-hours of independent study.
