DMS Handbook - Academic Standards Policy

  1. Students are required to achieve a grade of at least a "C" or better in each RIS core course within the program curriculum.
  2. If a final grade lower than "C" is earned in any required RIS course, including clinical courses, the student will not be permitted to progress in the sonography coursework sequence.
  3. Students are required to maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 or better for all classes taken at 17cÍøÒ³°æ. See KSU Undergraduate Catalog for information on student probation and dismissal from the University.
  4. Students are required to maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.75 or better for all professional level (RIS) coursework. 
  5. If a student achieves a semester GPA of less than 2.75 in professional level (RIS) coursework, the student will be placed on probation. If a student fails to earn or maintain a cumulative professional level GPA of 2.75 or better for a second semester, the student will not be permitted to progress in the sonography coursework sequence.
  6. Students who are unable to progress in RIS courses in a given semester can request to re-enter the program the next time that course is offered (usually the next year as courses are offered only once each academic year).
  7. Students who request re-entry should refer to the policy on re-entry into the program.
  8. Students who are unable to progress in sonography coursework who do not desire attempting re-entry will be assisted through referral for counseling and guidance in redirecting their program of study.
