Santa Clara University

Students are expected to maintain a grade point average of 3.0 (B) or higher. Students who fail to maintain the required grade point average will be placed on academic probation. If the grade point deficiency is not made up within the following two courses, the student will be administratively withdrawn from his or her program of study and the School of ECP. Students who receive a grade of D or F in any one course will be administratively withdrawn from their program of study and the School of ECP.

Periodic Evaluations

As part of the School’s commitment to the professions of education and counseling and to the clients they serve, the Education and Counseling Psychology faculty will periodically evaluate students on their performance and behavior. Students will be contacted only if their evaluation warrants consideration of serious problems from a faculty perspective. Should the faculty judge that a student not be an asset to the professions, the student will be administratively withdrawn from the University regardless of the number of courses completed. The periodic evaluations adhere to specific guidelines and procedures. Appeals of a negative outcome of the periodic evaluation must be made in writing to the chair of the department and to the executive directors.
