Grades
Only the grades of A or B are normally taken as indications that a graduate student has done satisfactory work in the courses in which they were received. Under current Graduate School regulations, A, designates above average graduate work; B, average graduate work; C, passing but less than average graduate work; D and F, failing graduate work. At least a B average in graduate work is required for the M.A.; and 3.5 grade point average of course work taken at KU is required for a Ph.D. aspirant to be certified to take the written comprehensive examinations in Communication Studies.
Petitions
All regulations (except those demanded by the Graduate School itself) are subject to petition in special cases . The petition should be presented to the Director of Graduate Study and the Graduate Academic Affairs Committee who will carry it forward.
