Academic standing in Bouvé is determined by the student's cumulative grade-point average and performance in academic and clinical courses that are required by the student's program. All Bouvé students are expected to maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.000 each semester to remain in good academic standing and to progress toward graduation. Students who do not maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.000 each semester will be placed on academic probation.
Each program has its own minimum grade requirements. Please review the program’s requirements page in this catalog for details.
