What if I don't meet the minimum GPA requirement?

We accept applicants with GPAs that are 2.5-2.99 on probationary basis and give them a year to take upper division communication classes to demonstrate their interest and abilities in the discipline. If they succeed in raising their GPA (either cumulative or last 90 units) to 3.0 by the end of that year, then we allow them to start the graduate program the next fall quarter.
