Academic Policies

All students accepted into the Master of Professional Accountancy program must adhere with the following academic policies:

Students must maintain an average 3.0 GPA and no more than two grades of C. A student who received two grades of C will be placed on probation and required to meet with an advisor on a regular basis. Students who receive a third grade of C will be suspended from the program. An appeal process will exist in each program for students in this situation.
Students may enroll in no more than 15 master’s level credit hours per semester.
Master’s students are considered full-time if they are registered for 9 credit hours, half-time if registered for 5 credit hours, and less than half-time if registered for 4 or less than 4 credit hours.
Students must complete the master’s degree within 6 calendar years from the term they initially enroll.
Students not in attendance for three consecutive semesters (including summer) need to submit a reapplication form. Students requesting re-admission must be in good academic standing and must submit their application for re-admission to the master’s program in which they have been enrolled.
No course can count both toward the master’s degree and the bachelor’s degree.
No more than 6 credit hours of master’s level courses may count toward an undergraduate degree.
The Student Code of Conduct will apply to all Metro State students, regardless of level. Access the Student Code of Conduct.
The University residency requirement for master’s programs is the total number of hours required for the program minus 9.
