Continuation Requirement
All Duke students must meet continuation requirements while studying away. Grade expectations and continuation rules apply to both Duke-In and Duke-Approved programs alike. In some cases, you may be earning transfer credit for your coursework. This does not relieve you from Duke’s high academic expectations.
Duke students have been dismissed from the university for failing to meet continuation requirements on both Duke and non-Duke programs. Study away is NOT meant to be a break from studies and should not be treated as such.
To meet continuation requirements while studying away, students must successfully complete the equivalent of three course credits per semester. For a four-course program, you must pass three courses to meet the requirements. For a semester credit-hour program, you must pass 12 semester credit hours to meet the requirements. Students who fail to meet continuation requirements must leave the university for at least two semesters (a summer session may be counted as a semester).
