Academic Good Standing, Disqualification and Probation

A J.D. or LL.M. in Comparative Law student whose GPA for courses taken under the old scale is at least 75 and whose GPA for courses taken under the new scale is at least 2.0, is in academic good standing without any need for engaging in the calculations set forth below. The same is true of LL.M. students who needed an 81 average under the old system and a 3.0 average under the new system to graduate; if they are at or above those levels for courses taken on each system, they will also be in good standing in their programs.

For students whose GPA is deficient on one set of grades, we will translate the student's grades under the new system to equivalencies under the old system. We will use the following translation scale.

New Grade	Old Grade
A+	90
A	88
A-	85
B+	83
B	81
B-	79
C+	77
C	75
C-	73
D+	71
D	69
F	67

If the student would be in good standing with grades so converted, then the student will be deemed to be in good standing. If not, then the student will be disqualified or placed on probation in accordance with the usual operation of the rules for a student with such a GPA under the old system. A student who has been disqualified or placed on probation via this process has a right to seek relief from the Petitions Committee.
