It is expected that graduate students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will maintain a consistently high level of professional behavior beyond that stipulated in their academic pursuits (e.g., minimum GPA). It is assumed that students will treat faculty, staff, and fellow students with respect, and their behavior should at all times reflect standards of professional excellence commensurate with their post-baccalaureate status and the values and principles of the professions to which they aspire. Severe or repeated violations of reasonable performance expectations may result in dismissal from the university. Please refer to the Student Handbook for more information regarding the university's code of conduct for community expectations.
