For graduate students looking to transfer graduate credits, please view Transfer of Credit information in the Academic Catalog under Admissions.

Sometimes life throws us curveballs, we have a plan for that!

When taking a break, it is important to remember that each graduate course has a 6 year shelf life. The clock starts once you take your first course. When it comes time to graduate make sure that your oldest course is not more than 6 years old.

Whether you need a semester or two off or a year or more it is not a bad idea to request a Leave of Absence. Complete the Graduate Program Request for Leave of Absence form under Registrar Forms>Student Forms and we will follow up when it is time for you to return to complete your studies.

If you are not planning on remaining in your program you can request a formal withdrawal by emailing us at gce@fitchburgstate.edu.

A graduate student will be placed on probation if:

• Their overall GPA falls below 3.0.
• They receive a failing grade (below 2.0) in any course; students who fail a course must retake the course the next time it is offered in order to replace the failing grade with a passing grade.

Students on probation have one year to raise their GPA to 3.0 or better. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required for graduation.

A graduate student enrolled in a program may be dismissed if:

• The student is found in violation of the Academic Integrity Policy
• The student violates ethical/professional standards as defined by the profession and/or the academic department
• The student receives failing grades (below 2.0) in two or more courses
• The student’s GPA remains below 3.0 for three consecutive semesters

A graduate student who is dismissed from a program may seek readmission after one semester, but the decision for readmission rests with the department and/or the Dean of the School of Graduate, Online and Continuing Education, and is considered final.
