Policy on C Grades

A grade of B is considered the minimal appropriate grade for graduate course work. However, a maximum of two courses with a grade of C may be applied toward a master’s degree as long as the student’s grade-point average is 3.0 or greater.

Only one course with a grade of C may be applied toward a doctoral degree as long as the student’s grade-point average is 3.0 or better.

Exception: No C grades will be applied toward any graduate degree in the W. Cary Edwards School of Nursing.

Graduate students are required to maintain an overall minimum average of B in their Thomas Edison State University courses in order to graduate.

Students must also meet any minimum required GPA standards established by their School to graduate from Thomas Edison State University.
