Grade point policy

Environmental Health and Safety minors must achieve minimum course grades of 2.5 in all required EHS courses. A final course grade below 2.5 places a student on probation, which requires a meeting with the program director or a designated representative to discuss a method of remediation. In most cases, the method of remediation involves repeating the course in which the unsatisfactory grade was earned. See repeating courses for additional information.
