Committee on Professional Standards

Students in the Boston College graduate programs are expected to adhere to the highest standards of professional conduct as outlined in the Core Values. Any student who violates these Core Values is subject to consequences ranging from a reprimand to dismissal from the University. Faculty members, staff members or students who detect any form of violation have the responsibility to take appropriate action. Individuals detecting violations of the Core Values should bring the violation to a faculty member鈥檚 attention, to the attention of the appropriate director, or to the attention of the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs.听

Faculty members and directors have the responsibility to report the incident to the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs in writing. If in consultation with the Associate Dean the incident is deemed to be of a minor nature, the faculty member or director may handle the matter themselves and communicate the repercussions appropriate to the violation. If the incident is deemed to be serious or if there have been any prior violations, the Committee on Professional Standards will be convened. The Committee on Professional Standards will conduct a hearing on the matter and if the student is found responsible, shall recommend a sanction to the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs, who may accept or reduce the recommended sanction, but not increase it. The report of the Committee on Professional Standards shall remain in the offending student鈥檚 file for up to five years beyond the date of his/her graduation.

Professional conduct is a very important issue in the graduate programs. Any questions with respect to these standards should be discussed with a professor or appropriate administrator.

Academic Standing

In the Carroll School of Management, MBA, MSF and MSA students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.67 or higher in their coursework to be eligible to graduate. MBA students who receive grades of C or less in five courses are subject to review by the Academic Review Board and may be required to withdraw from the program. MSF and MSA students who receive grades of C or less in three courses are subject to review by the Academic Review Board and may be required to withdraw from the program. MSF and MSA students who receive two or more Fs are automatically dropped from degree candidacy. If a student鈥檚 cumulative GPA drops below 2.67, they will be placed on academic probation and required to meet with an academic advisor to create an academic plan. This plan may involve limiting the number and/or type of class(es) while a student is on probation. Additionally, students with three or more course withdrawals (W鈥檚) without approved documentation are required to meet with an academic advisor to create an academic plan which may involve limiting the number and/or type of class(es) the student can be enrolled in during the following semester(s).

Academic Grievances

Students have the right to know the components on which a final grade will be based, to be graded fairly in relation to the other students in the course and to understand why a particular grade was given. The instructor has the right to determine which course components will be graded and the weight that will be given to each, the right to determine the grading scale to be employed and the responsibility to grade students consistently on that scale. The professor is also expected to provide a syllabus for each course, specifying dates for assignments and examinations, and the weight given to each course component determining the final grade. A student should resolve problems in the manner in which grades have been awarded or on the academic practices of an instructor by direct and immediate contact with the instructor. In the rare case of an unresolved question, the student should first refer the matter in an informal manner to the academic department chairperson or appropriate program director. A formal appeal of a course grade, which ought not be undertaken lightly by a student nor lightly dismissed by an instructor, should be made no later than the sixth week of the following semester. In making a formal appeal, a student files a written statement with the department chair or program director. Thereafter, the appeal is reviewed by the Associate Dean. The Associate Dean鈥檚 decision is final.

Retaking Courses

Students cannot retake a course that has been successfully completed in order to improve their grade performance or GPA. Students also cannot audit a class first and then retake it for credit. Courses for which a grade of 鈥淔鈥� or 鈥淲鈥� have been received can be retaken because 鈥淔鈥� and鈥淲鈥� grades cannot be used to satisfy degree requirements. However, note that MBA students who receive three or more Fs are automatically dropped from degree candidacy. MSF and MSA students who receive two or more Fs are automatically dropped from degree candidacy.
Students with three or more course withdrawals (W鈥檚) without approved documentation are required to meet with an academic advisor to create an academic plan which may involve limiting the number and/or type of class(es) a student can enroll in the following semester(s).

Leave of Absence

Graduate students who do not register for course work in any given fall or spring semester must request a leave of absence for that semester by completing the Leave of Absence form. Leaves of absence are not usually granted for more than two semesters at a time. Students may apply for a personal or medical leave of absence. Appropriate documentation is required for a medical leave of absence. Students on an approved leave of absence should contact the Graduate Programs Office at least six weeks prior to the semester in which they expect to re-enroll and the appropriate Associate Dean will make the decision on the readmission request. Part-Time MBA and MSF students who fail to register for more than two Fall or Spring semesters and who do not complete a Leave of Absence form will be subject to an academic review, which may result in dismissal from the program.

To learn more about Leave of Absence policies and procedures, please visit the Graduate Academic Regulations section of the University Catalog.
