Grading Policy
All undergraduate students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50; and all graduate and doctoral students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 to be in good academic standing. Enrollment of all matriculated students requires registration for coursework in all semesters, unless a leave of absence has been granted or upon prior advisement from faculty. Students in all programs on a leave of absence will not have access to Stony Brook email, the curriculum, faculty support, and technical support. Undergraduate students must pass each required course with a C+ (74.00-77.99) or higher. Graduate students in the Master of Science, Advanced Certificate, and Doctoral Programs must pass each required course with a grade of B (82.00-85.99) or higher. Students in the Master of Science and Advanced Certificate programs who were admitted prior to Summer 2021 are expected to follow the minimum grade policy in effect at the time of their admission. Please contact your Program Director if you have questions or require additional information. Clinical performance is graded as pass/fail.
- Failure to pass either the theoretical or the clinical components of a clinical course will result in the failure of the entire course.
- All students must meet and maintain Technical Standards for Admission and Retention for the School of Nursing.
