Grading policy and retention for the Au.D. program
Students in the AuD program are required to maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.2 throughout their course of study. Receiving a grade of 'C' in successive semesters will prompt a committee review of the student’s academic progress with recommendations that may include dismissal from the program.
Students must complete the minimum academic and clinical requirements for professional certification issued by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
