Graduate Student Policy

According to GSAS, students are considered making satisfactory progress if they:

• complete expected requirements
• achieve a minimum grade-point average of B (3.0).

Further definitions for GSAS satisfactory progress can be found beginning on page 3 of the Harvard Griffin GSAS Student Handbook and are enforced in the tracking of program-based requirements designed to meet the overall expectations of GSAS. If a student is determined to be making unsatisfactory academic progress during any term, the situation will be handled through a program academic review process including grace status.

A student making unsatisfactory progress may, with departmental endorsement, be granted the status of “grace” for up to one academic year. Please review the GSAS Student Handbook page 3 for more details on Grace Status.
