Restoration of Degree Candidacy: Restoration of degree candidacy requires a petition to the Council on Graduate Studies. A graduate candidate who is reclassified as a non-degree student because of a low GPA, an excess number of credits below B, or for other reasons may continue to take graduate courses as long as a GPA of 2.50 or higher is maintained. Departments may restrict access to courses for such students. If the student restores the cumulative GPA to 3.00 or higher, he/she may request reinstatement to degree candidacy. Similarly, students who have an excess number of credits below B or who have been reclassified for other reasons, but who maintain or restore the cumulative GPA to 3.00 or higher, may request reinstatement to degree candidacy. Candidacy reinstatement may be requested to the original degree program or to a new degree program. There is no guarantee that a student reclassified as non-degree can be reinstated as a degree candidate in the original degree program or in a new program.  [Attach additional pages as necessary]
