Probation and Dismissal

For Florida State graduate students the "Suspension, Dismissal, and Reinstatement" policy is clearly listed in the Florida State University General Bulletin: Graduate Edition.

A Florida A&M Graduate Student graduate student whose cumulative grade point average for courses taken at Florida A&M University falls below 3.0 at the end of a term (not counting courses for which "S" or "U" grades may be given) will be considered "not in good standing" by the Department of Mechanical Engineering and will be considered on academic probation. If a 3.0 cumulative grade point average is not attained by the end of the next full-time period of enrollment, the student will not be permitted to register for graduate study - including registering as a special student. However at that time the major professor may petition the Mechanical Engineering Graduate Committee for consideration of special circumstances which the professor thinks constitute justification for an exception to this regulation, but under no circumstances will a student be allowed more than one additional term of probation. (This policy is in essence the same as that for Florida State graduate students. It was officially adopted by the Mechanical Engineering Graduate Committee in December 2000.)
