Retention and Program Evaluation
All graduate students are evaluated each semester by their major advisor in order to assess their progress in the program. Students must maintain an average of 3.0 (B) on all graduate courses taken and on all courses on the program of study. No grade below 2.0 (C) will be accepted as part of the program of study for a graduate degree. Students may be dismissed from the department at the end of any semester in they have not made sufficient academic progress to warrant continuance of study. Students with a cumulative graduate cause average below 3.0 for two consecutive semesters are placed on academic probation. Students must then make a 3.0 or higher semester graduate average each succeeding semester that their overall cumulative graduate average is below 3.0. Students who earn below a 3.0 semester graduate average while on probation are dismissed. All University of Georgia students have the right to appeal academic decisions. See the University of Georgia Graduate Bulletin for complete details on retention policies.
The Special Education Program values the insight and opinions of all graduate students in its efforts to improve programs and individual course offerings. The Graduate Assessment Plan for the department approved at the University level provides complete details on the procedures used to evaluate the expected learning outcomes of students graduating from any program and is available to all students upon request. Yearly activities are conducted by the Graduate Coordinator and each graduate advisor to evaluate the quality of the program by surveying current and former students and evaluating student progress towards degree completion.
