An overall UNLV GPA of 2.75 or higher is required for all Education majors (except Human Services Counseling, which requires a 2.5 GPA) . In addition, some majors have specific grade requirements for particular courses. For example, Elementary Education majors must earn a "C" or above in all degree-applicable courses. Secondary Education majors must maintain a 2.75 teaching field GPA, in addition to an overall 2.75 GPA. Additional GPA requirements are explained in detail in your Undergraduate Catalog. A minimum 3.0 GPA is strongly recommended for students considering graduate school.
Any student whose overall GPA falls below 2.75 (2.5 for Human Services Counseling) is automatically placed on College probation. Probationary students are required to meet with an academic advisor and repeat courses with grades below "C."
College suspension results when a student's overall GPA falls below 2.5 (2.2 for Human Services Counseling). Students placed on College suspension are not permitted to take courses at UNLV through the College of Education for at least one semester. Students must meet with a professional advisor and/or the COE Chair of Academic Standards in order to be reinstated. Immediately following reinstatement, students must repeat courses with grades below "C" and may have a limit placed on the number of credits they may take.
University suspension results when a student’s grade point balance (GPB) falls below –15.00. Students placed on University suspension may not attend UNLV for a minimum of one calendar year. See your Undergraduate Catalog for more detailed information regarding university suspension, policies, and procedures.
Students are strongly encouraged to repeat any grades below "C."
A student may repeat any UNLV course once at UNLV and not have the original
grade computed in the GPA. Courses that are initially taken at UNLV must
be repeated at UNLV in order to have the initial grade omitted from the
computation of the GPA. (When a repeat course is completed more than once,
only the original grade is omitted from the GPA).
