[La-cgs] Accelerated Bachelors to Masters aka Concurrent Degrees GPA minimum

[Nancy Biggio]

All,

Happy Friday!  I have been asked by two deans to consider changing the minimum cumulative undergraduate GPA to begin taking graduate courses for the program from 3.2 to 3.0 to increase graduate enrollment.  Since this is included in the policy<https://www.ulsystem.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/C-II.IX-Admission-to-Graduate-Study-rev-October-2023.pdf> we just successfully changed, I wanted to seek your thoughts.  My position is that I cannot make exceptions to the GPA minimum since it's explicit in the ULS policy. Please feel free to comment on that aspect as well.

Nancy
