Maintaining satisfactory academic progress is crucial for success in your program at Nexford University. This involves meeting specific requirements for your Grade Point Average (GPA) and course completion pace, as well as performance in particular stages of your program.

Overall Program Academic Requirements

All learners in any degree or certificate program are expected to maintain the following standards throughout their studies:

• Course Completion Pace: You must successfully complete at least 67% of the courses you attempt.

• Minimum GPA: You must maintain the minimum Cumulative GPA (CGPA) for your program. 

  • Graduate Programs (e.g., MBA): You must maintain an overall GPA of 3.0 or better.

  • Undergraduate Programs (e.g., AAS, BBA): You must maintain an overall GPA of 2.0 or better.

In addition to overall program standards, you must maintain the equivalent course GPA for all courses in your program -- 2.0 for undergraduate courses and 3.0 for graduate courses. Note that learners who are taking graduate-level courses in an undergraduate program must achieve a minimum 'B' or 3.0 GPA score in the course.
