All students must maintain a cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) and specific programs require a minimum cumulative Studio GPA (SGPA), as follows: <table> <tbody> <tr> <td> B.Arch, BS Arch, BIA, and BLA: </td> <td> 2.5 GPA and 2.5 SGPA </td> </tr> <tr> <td> BDS: </td> <td> 2.3 GPA* </td> </tr> <tr> <td> M.Arch, MIA, and MLA: </td> <td> 2.7 GPA and 2.7 SGPA </td> </tr> <tr> <td> MDS and MSIA: </td> <td> 2.7 GPA </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> If either of your GPAs falls below the minimum program requirement, you will be placed on academic probation (from the second semester of Foundation forward) and be required to sign a probation contract. You must also successfully complete each course at a satisfactory rate. If you withdraw and/or fail the same course two or more times, you will be placed on academic probation. You will be required to sign a probation contract and may also be required to meet with her/his program Dean of School before being permitted to attempt that course again. *BDS students who entered prior to Fall 2017, and who have not transferred into one of the Fall 2017 BDS curriculums, must maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA and a 2.5 major/concentration GPA.
