Graduate students must meet all of the following criteria to maintain satisfactory progress:

• Maintain at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA.
• Advance to candidacy and complete the degree within limitations established by UCI’s Graduate
  Council.
• Receive grades of B or better.
• Enroll in at least 12 graduate or upper-division units of credit each quarter at UCI, or at least 9 units of graduate courses per semester at SDSU, including credit for supervised teaching and research, unless part-time status or an academic leave of absence has been approved in advance. In cases of approved part-time status, enrollment in eight 8 or fewer units of credit toward the degree is expected each quarter.
• Satisfactory progress towards the degree as determined by the student’s faculty advisor, committee, or academic unit.

Note: The professional judgment of the faculty, upon review of all graduate work undertaken by the student, is paramount, and the faculty of a particular academic unit may establish more restrictive criteria for satisfactory academic progress. Graduate students must maintain satisfactory academic progress to be eligible for any academic appointment/employment, fellowship support, or other awards.
