Additional School Requirements for Remaining in Good Academic Standing

Graduate students who do not complete one-half of accumulated attempted credits after two consecutive semesters in their program are subject to probation and may not be allowed to register for more courses and/or equivalency credits in the following semester. Students are also responsible for meeting department or program academic requirements in order to remain in good academic standing in their program.

Students should refer to their divisional handbooks for additional information on academic standing.

Dean’s List

Undergraduates who are full-time students and have a term GPA of 3.7 or higher are placed on the Dean’s List, an honor that is noted on the academic transcript. The Dean's List is issued on February 1 for the fall term and July 1 for the spring term. There is no Dean’s List for the summer term. Students can check their MyNewSchool Web transcripts to see if they have made the Dean's List each semester.

Class Rank

The New School does not calculate class rank.
