Examples
- A "fail grade" for a graduate student is 59% and below.
- "Minimal Pass" grades are between 60-67%
- Students are only permitted a limited number of "failed" (59% and below) and/or "minimal pass" (60-67%) grades in the MM degree.
If a student receives one or more final grades below 68% at the end of a Period, they will receive a letter from the RHL Graduate School outlining continuation requirements.
Exceeding the maximum number of credits in either or both of these categories may result in withdrawal from the program.
