Marquette University - Graduate School of Management Bulletin 31
• 12 attempted units of BC or C grades. (This includes either 12 units of BC grades; 12 units of C grades; or 12 credits of some
combination of BC and C grades.)
• 3 attempted units of F, U or UNC grades. (This includes 3 units of F grades; 3 units of U grades; 3 units of UNC grades; or 3 units some
combination of F, U and UNC grades.)
• Attempted 9 or fewer total units and have less than a 2.5 Cum GPA.
• Attempted greater than 9 total units and have less than a 3.0 Cum GPA.
In addition, the school reserves the right to dismiss students for issues other than grades or GPA. These dismissals will result in one of the
academic censure statuses assigned to the student record described above, other than RWAR.
1) Multiple incompletes; 2) a term without substantial and visible progress toward completion of program requirements, such as professional
project or comprehensive exam; 3) violation of probation requirements; 4) unprofessional behavior in a class, or professional setting
representing Marquette University; 5) breach of academic integrity, including, but not limited to: cheating, dishonest conduct, plagiarism,
collusion or research misconduct.
Within 3 days after the date of notice of dismissal based upon academic grades, a student must appeal the decision to the associate dean
of the Graduate School of Management. Dismissals for anything other than RWAR, must be appealed within 6 days after the date of notice.
A student who does not appeal his/her dismissal will be dis-enrolled in 4 days (for RWAR) or 7 days (for other) after the date of the notice of
the dismissal.
Appeal process is: Student initiates the appeal by the deadlines describe above. The appeal must be in writing to the director of the
program. (For M.B.A. students, please send to the GSM associate dean). The director has 3 days for the RWAR and 6 days for any other
dismissals to review the case and respond to the student in writing. If the dismissal is upheld by the director of the program, the student
has 3 days to further appeal any dismissal in writing to the associate dean. (For M.B.A. students, the second appeal is sent to the executive
associate dean, who has the same amount of time to respond.) If needed, a 3rd appeal may be sent in writing to the dean of the Graduate
School of Management. The dean will respond in writing within 6 days. The dean of the Graduate School of Management’s decision is final.
Dismissed students may apply for readmission through the normal admission process. A period of at least one semester may be required
by the academic department before readmission will be considered. If so required, the department may specify conditions that must be met
during this period. No student may be readmitted to a program that is no longer active at the time of readmission. The student must send
a written request for readmission to the associate dean of the Graduate School of Management who will, in turn, forward the student’s file
to the academic program for overview and recommendation on readmission. The request for readmission must include a statement by the
student addressing previous weaknesses, steps taken to correct the weaknesses and an explanation of why the student feels he or she has
the ability to succeed in graduate studies. The student’s transcripts will indicate dismissal if such should occur. If the student is subsequently
granted readmission, the grade point average will continue from the previous calculation and the student must obtain a 3.000 grade point
average within a designated time frame after a new sequence of academic probation.
Advising
The Graduate School of Management sends the name and telephone number of an academic adviser to each student in the letter
of admission. A student is required to meet or talk with the adviser before their first registration for classes. The Graduate School of
Management strongly recommends that students meet regularly with their adviser; an adviser plays an important role in the graduate
student’s course of study. Non-degree and temporary non-degree student must seek advising and permission numbers prior to registration.
Students who register for course work without adviser approval assume full responsibility for their registration. Courses that do not satisfy
the requirements of their plan of study will not be applied toward the degree.
No classes may be attended for which a student is not properly registered. Proper registration includes the payment of all tuition and fees.
Appeals
In the Graduate School of Management, the final responsibility to resolve student appeals rests with the dean of the Graduate School of
Management (or, when delegated, the executive associate dean). Possible matters of appeal include, but are not limited to, terminations
from programs, disenrollments, graduation decisions, failure of economics master’s comprehensive examination or professional project, and
accusations of academic dishonesty. Before an appeal is made to the Graduate School of Management, every effort must have been made
to resolve the matter informally, and appeal procedures at the program level must have been exhausted.
Appeals to the Graduate School of Management must be made in writing to the dean of the Graduate School of Management within 6
days of notification of the action being appealed. The appeal must be specific and substantiated. The dean of the Graduate School of
Management reserves the right to appoint a committee to hear the appeal. During an appeal, the student may maintain graduate status. This
status is maintained through either course work or continuous enrollment at the discretion of the Graduate School of Management or the
student’s graduate program. See the specific process at marquette.edu/gsm.
Attendance
The Marquette University Graduate School of Management considers regular class attendance an important component of the learning
process. Students are expected to attend scheduled class meetings; excessive absences may have adverse consequences, ranging from a
