Grading and Progression Policies

1. A student in the School of Architecture and Allied Arts must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 in order to be in good academic standing.
2. A minimum grade of C- is required in all architecture courses (ARPL). Students will need to repeat any courses in which they receive a grade of D or F, and will not be allowed to continue to any course for which the D or F course serves as a prerequisite.  The minimum passing grade for core (non-Architecture courses) is as follows:
   
   

   Course	Minimum Passing Grade
   ENG 101	C-
   MATH 108	D
   MATH 111	D
   PHIL 201/HSPH 101	D
   PHIL 202/HSPH 102	D
   PHYS 101	D
   TRS 201/HSTR 101	D

   
   3. Progression: The following sequences of courses must be taken in the order listed for the B.S.Arch program:
   • Fundamentals: ARPL 101, then ARPL 102
   • Undergraduate Studio: ARPL 201, then ARPL 202. Both prior to either ARPL 301 or ARPL 302. Both prior to either ARPL 401 or ARPL 402.
