Master of Science: Dental Hygiene Education - Retention Requirements
Graduate students, regardless of classification, must maintain a 3.0 (B) grade-point average in all coursework taken for graduate credit at UMKC and must meet any additional academic requirements imposed by the school, department or Interdisciplinary Ph.D. discipline. Students are responsible for keeping apprised of their academic status by referring to term grades and their permanent academic record on file in the UMKC Registration and Records Office.

Whenever the cumulative GPA for UMKC courses taken for graduate credit by a graduate student of any classification falls below 3.0, the student's status for the next term becomes: "On Probation - See principal graduate adviser." (Interdisciplinary Ph.D. students will be directed to consult their interim adviser or research adviser.) The principal graduate adviser, interim adviser or research adviser will review the student's progress and provide counsel, and the following conditions apply:

  • A graduate student on probation who is not restored to good academic standing by the end of two successive regular semesters following the term in which the cumulative GPA fell below 3.0 will be declared ineligible to re-enroll.
  • While on probation, a graduate student must achieve a 3.0 term GPA in order to enroll for the following term.
  • A graduate student on probation will not be restored to good standing until a cumulative graduate-credit GPA of at least 3.0 is achieved.
