为了使学生保持良好的信誉并获得适当的成绩和学分,他们必须遵守学校的学术政策,程序和标准。

学校要求我们的学生取得高水平的学术成就,学校为一个良好的学生和学术危险的学生定义了标准。字母分级系统用于评估学生的成就水平。

Grading System

“A” indicates excellent; “B” indicates good; “C” indicates unsatisfactory and may require students to repeat the course; and “F” indicates failing; “P” indicates passing; “W” indicates that the student has withdrawn; “I” indicates an incomplete grade, meaning that course requirements have not been satisfied. All letter grades are reported without modification of plus (+) or minus (-). Grades recorded for courses dropped after the withdrawal deadline will be recorded as “F.” If a student accumulates four “W” grades they will be subject to academic action.

Grade point averages (GPA) are computed at the end of each semester using the following academic standard:

  • A = 4分
  • B = 3 points
  • C = 2分
  • i =不计数
  • p =不计数
  • W =不计数
  • F = 0 points

可能不会重复获得“ B”或更好的成绩的研究生级课程。在必需课程中,任何接受小于A B的成绩的学生都必须重新读取课程,并获得“ B”或更高的成绩才能继续他们的学术课程。

Grade Reports

Students may access their official term grade reports online through myUTH athttps://my.uth.tmc.edu

Grades of “C”
“ C”等级是一个不令人满意的等级,可能需要学生重复课程。在所需课程中获得“ C”等级的学生必须重新读取课程,并获得“ B”或更高的成绩才能继续他们的学术课程。该课程必须在下学期重新学习,该课程提供了课程。“ C”的原始成绩将保留在学生的成绩单上。所有获得“ C”等级的学生将被判处学术缓刑。不允许学生获得超过两年的“ C”。“ C”的三年级将导致学校解雇。

“我”等级
当不满足课程要求时,可能会给出不完整或“ I”等级。学生必须完成至少50%的课程课程要求,以签发“ i”等级。学生必须提交不完整的成绩表格才能获得不完整或“我”等级。在收到“ I”等级后,学生必须删除学期的“ I”等级,否则不完整的成绩将转​​换为“ F”等级。“ i”等级将不会用于计算平均成绩。在学生有资格毕业之前,必须从学生的记录(满足课程要求)中删除所有“我”等级。他们希望毕业的学期必须在SBMI的SBMI参加课程。

“ F”等级
不允许学生获得“ F”等级。“ F”等级将自动解雇学校。

Grades of “W”
选举戒断等级(“ W”)的学生必须恢复课程并获得“ B”或更高成绩才能继续进行学术课程。在重读课程时,“ C”或较低的等级是自动解雇该计划的理由。

Only two grades of “W” will be allowed for an elective course.

The original grade of “W” will remain on the student transcript. Students are not permitted to earn more than four grades of “W” during their SBMI academic program. All enrollments in courses, including repeated courses, will be reflected on the student’s transcript.

“通过/失败”等级
目录的课程说明部分中描述了按/失败基础分级的课程。在这些情况下,“ P”的象征用于指定“通行证”和“ F”来指定“失败”。通过计算,未输入的课程通过/失败的小时;但是,在成绩计算中包括了通过/失败的课程通过/失败和失败的时间。不允许学生获得“ F”等级。“ F”等级将自动解雇学校。

每个计划都建立了学生在该计划学习期间可以通过/失败的学期学分数量的最大学期学分。最多可以将三个学分的定向研究学分用于证书计划。最多六个学分的定向研究可以应用于硕士和博士课程。

GPA计算
Grade point average is calculated using grades and credit hours for courses except for those courses in which a grade of “I,” “W” or “P” is recorded. The grade achieved in a repeated course is included in the calculation. Those courses taken through concurrent enrollment are not used in calculating the grade point average. Courses obtained by Petition for Equivalency Credit (PEC), which are graduate courses transferred from other institutions, are not used in the calculation of the grade point average.

信誉良好的学生

To be considered in “good standing” and making “satisfactory academic progress” at SBMI, a student admitted to a graduate degree program must be following the degree plan; must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or above; and must not be on academic probation or suspension as determined by the Associate Dean for Academic and Curricular Affairs. To remain in good standing a graduate student may earn no grade less than a “B” during their program.

Academic Probation

Probation is an official warning status for a defined period of time that informs the student of unsatisfactory academic and/or professional performance, and provides the student an opportunity to improve. Any student who does not adhere to the academic and professional standards of SBMI is subject to probation, suspension, and/or dismissal by the Associate Dean for Academic and Curricular Affairs.

在课程大纲中的每个课程的开头给出了基于等级的标准。专业标准包括适当的着装,出勤,行为以及该计划所需的任何特定标准。如果学生对学术和专业要求有疑问,或者需要帮助达到标准,则学生应咨询课程讲师或顾问。

在完成以下任何事情的学期结束后,如果学生(1)的成绩低于“ b”(“ C”),则学术和课程事务的副院长将接受学术缓刑。在SBMI的课程中,或参加并发或机构间课程;(2)累计平均级平均值(GPA)少于3.0或(3)无法在学位方面取得令人满意的学业进步。在接下来的注册期结束时,研究生将从学术缓刑中删除,当时未在研究生课程中分配低于“ B”的等级,平均累积坡度为3.0,并删除或修复任何其他缓刑的原因。

如果在任何课程中获得三年级的“ C”,包括同时或机构间课程,则SBMI研究生将被驳回。

五年规则

In order to keep its programs and coursework relevant and current, SBMI allows students to apply completed course credits to a certificate, master’s, or doctoral program for no more than five (5) years after the course was successfully completed, with a grade of “B” or better.

These successfully completed courses may be applied at a later date toward the certificate/degree requirements for other academic programs at SBMI if the course is part of the program’s current curriculum. If the grade earned and recorded on the student’s transcript (by semester and year) exceeds the Five-Year rule, the course credits will expire and the course must be repeated to meet the program requirements, where applicable.

如果在学期中不再存在于SBMI的课程目录中的课程过期的课程进入该课程,则学生必须参加新课程以完成课程要求。

Note that this Five-Year Rule is not applicable to credits earned during a period of continuous enrollment while studying at SBMI. SBMI students who maintain satisfactory program enrollment over a period of more than five (5) years, can apply all courses taken during their program tenure at the School, so long as the earned grade is a B or better and the student has not exceeded the stated time limit to complete the program in which they are enrolled.

转移信用

Transfer credit for equivalent graduate courses taken elsewhere may be awarded and used to meet degree requirements if their equivalency to a SBMI degree program course is approved through a Petition for Equivalency Credit (PEC). The maximum number of transferable semester credit hours is 3 for the certificate program, 12 for the master’s program, 36 for the PhD program, and 21 for the Doctor of Health Informatics (“DHI”) program. Contact the SBMI Office of Academic Affairs for information.

Courses that are being accepted at SBMI, including courses through a dual or joint-degree program, can only be transferred in if the grade earned in the course is a “B” or higher. Courses for which grades of less than “B” were earned will not be accepted for transfer. Transfer credits are subject to the Five-Year Rule based on the semester and year the original credits were posted to a student’s official transcript.

Applicants who are presenting course work from universities or colleges outside the United States to meet admission or graduation requirements are referred to the section on International Applicants in this catalog for additional requirements.
