C. Grading

Your grades will be recorded online in your electronic records (on the web). The grades will be available approximately 10 days after finals. You can access this information by going to www.banweb.pdx.edu. You must have your PSU ID and password ready.

Incompletes

Giving a grade of incomplete (“I”) will be considered by department faculty only for medical or health reasons. If you are granted an incomplete, you must complete the course work within one year and/or before you are allowed to enroll in Practicum or Internship. If you accumulate 9 credits of incomplete, you will be asked to complete them before you can enroll in additional coursework.

During the time you are enrolled in Practicum you must complete ALL required courses in which you are concurrently enrolled.

Practicum is considered an advanced counseling course. During the term you enroll in Practicum, you will enroll in COUN 543 Interpersonal Relations II concurrently with COUN 509 Practicum: Counseling. An incomplete (I) in either course will result in suspension from the department.

C Grade Policy

By Counselor Education Department policy, no more than 6 resident credits of C or C+ grades earned at PSU, after admission, may count toward a degree program, providing GPA requirements are met. If you earn more than 6 credits with grades of C+ or lower, you will need to repeat courses in an effort to earn a higher grade (i.e., B or higher).

Academic Probation

An admitted graduate student is placed on probation if the student's cumulative graduate GPA at PSU, based on the completion of 9 or more letter-graded graduate credits after admission to the graduate level at PSU, falls below 3.00.

While on academic probation a student will not be permitted to graduate, to be admitted to a new or different graduate certificate or degree program, to be advanced to doctoral candidacy, to have a thesis or dissertation committee appointed, to receive or continue to hold a graduate assistantship, or to register for more than a total of 9 credit hours in any term. A student is removed from academic probation if the student’s cumulative graduate GPA is brought up to 3.00 or higher within the next 9 letter-graded graduate credits after beginning probation status.
