Important Policies To Know
It is important to note that KSU holds graduate students to a high standard! All KSU Academic Policies can be found in the KSU Graduate Student Catalog.
Below are some of the policies we like to highlight with our students:

on probation:
- While on probation, the student obtains a SEMESTER GPA below 3.0

Important KSU Policies for Cybersecurity Students
You can only repeat 2 classes throughout your entire time in the program.
Grades for repeated courses do not replace grades already received. This means grades for every attempt at a course are calculated into a student’s GPA.
