Academic Requirements
DMHP students commit to the honors cohort class sequence upon acceptance into the program. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure they are taking the appropriate prerequisite courses in order to stay on track in the cohort sequence. Students should avoid taking the non-honors section of an honors cohort class (unless approved by DMHP staff).
To remain in good standing, DMHP students must meet the following requirements:
First-Year Students
Cumulative UT Dallas GPAs will be evaluated at the end of the spring semester. If the UT Dallas GPA is below a 3.25, the student will be dismissed from DMHP. All students who do not meet the minimum requirement of 3.25 will have the opportunity to appeal. Appeals should be based on extenuating, nonacademic circumstances. All appeal decisions will be made by DMHP professional staff, and they will be final.
Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors
Students must maintain a cumulative UT Dallas GPA of 3.25 or higher each semester to remain in good standing with the program.Participation Requirements
