Batten Graduate Academic Policies  |  Batten Undergraduate Academic Policies 

Students are expected to meet minimum standards to progress in either the BA or MPP program. However, there are times when students do not reach those standards and require remediation.  

Standard academic progress in core courses for each of our programs is defined as:  

• BA program - the minimum grade to pass a course is C.  

• MPP program - the minimum grade to pass a course is a B minus.  

Batten strives to provide students with the tools to successfully complete your courses. If you identify a student who is likely not meeting standard academic progress standards in your core course, please email the Academic Programs team: contact Katie Straight for graduate students or Kristine Nelson for undergraduates.
