GPA of 3.0 or better: Graduate students must maintain a GPA of 3.0 or better on a 4-point scale. If their GPA falls below 3.0 in any term, they will be placed on academic probation and have a maximum of two terms (depending on course offerings) to increase their GPA above the 3.0 threshold. Failure to achieve that standard may result in academic dismissal. Other Academic Concerns: Plagiarizing Written Work In addition to counseling guidelines, students are required to adhere to university policies regarding student conduct and academic honesty. University policies can be found in the University Catalog- University Catalog University Policy Regarding Academic Honesty National Louis University subscribes to the principle that academic quality and a productive learning environment are inextricably linked to academic honesty. Like other colleges and universities, National Louis University has expectations regarding academic honesty on the part of students, faculty and staff and, indeed, professional people at all levels of academic activity. With respect to the academic honesty of students, it is expected that all material submitted as part of any class exercise, in or out of class, is the actual work of the student whose name appears on the material unless properly documented otherwise. The concept of academic honesty includes plagiarism, as well as receiving and/or giving improper assistance, unethical use of AI tools, and other forms of cheating on coursework. Students found to have engaged in academic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary action and may be dismissed from the University. Faculty has the right and responsibility to analyze and evaluate students’ course work. Students may be asked to submit their papers electronically to a third-party plagiarism detection service. Students who are asked to submit their papers, and refuse, must provide proof for every cited work comprising the cover page and first cited page for each source listed in the References. When evidence of academic dishonesty is discovered, an established procedure of resolution will be activated to bring the matter to closure.
