Continuation in the Social Work Major

The social work faculty reserves the right to request the withdrawal of any student whose academic performance, social fitness, and mental or physical health make it inadvisable to continue in the program. All decisions regarding continuation in the program are based on the recommendations of the Social Work Admissions Committee.

Students who receive a grade of less than a "C" in any course required for the social work major must repeat the course. Students must maintain an overall grade point average of 2.5 and a 2.7 in the major. To graduate, a student must present a grade point average of 2.7 in the field placement experience and a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 in order to graduate. Students who fall below this grade-point average will be placed on probation per the CAPS catalog. Failure to raise the grade point average to 2.5 could then result in dismissal from the program.
