Our standards for academic integrity
The Khoury College of Computer Sciences upholds the University’s Academic Integrity Policy. Faculty will report all students found in violation of this policy to the Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution (OSCCR). In addition, Khoury will convene an Academic Integrity Committee within the College to consider further penalties, such as disciplinary probation and/or academic suspension.
Northeastern University expects students to complete all examinations, tests, papers, creative projects, and assignments of any kind according to the highest ethical standards described in its Academic Integrity Policy.
As members of the academic community, students must become familiar with their rights and responsibilities. In each course, they are responsible for knowing the requirements and restrictions regarding research and writing, examinations of whatever kind, collaborative work, the use of study aids, the appropriateness of assistance, and other issues. Students are responsible for learning the conventions of documentation and acknowledgment of sources in their fields.
Northeastern expects students to complete all examinations, tests, papers, creative projects, and assignments of any kind according to the highest ethical standards, as set forth either explicitly or implicitly in the Code of Student Conduct or by the direction of instructors. Please note:

Academic progression standards (effective Fall 2020)
In addition to meeting university progression standards, it is expected that full-time Khoury students enroll in four courses with appropriate labs and recitations and successfully complete at least 12 semester hours each academic semester with an acceptable grade-point average (GPA) as noted below. Any exceptions to the course load requirement must be approved by the student’s academic adviser prior to the start of each semester. Pass/fail courses are restricted to electives outside of the major, minor, and NUpath requirements.
GPA Requirements for Graduation
A minimum cumulative GPA requirement of 2.000 in major (CS/CY/DS/IS) courses and a minimum cumulative GPA requirement of 2.000 overall are required for graduation.
Criteria for Academic Probation
Full-time students in Khoury College of Computer Sciences will be placed on academic probation effective for the following academic semester for any of the reasons noted below:
- Not earning at least 12 semester hours in each academic full-term semester (Fall, Spring)
- Not following a program of study approved by the student’s academic advisor
First-year students
- Not maintaining an overall cumulative GPA of at least 1.800 at the end of each full-term semester (Fall, Spring) of the first-year curriculum and a GPA of at least 2.000 in the major at the end of the second academic full-term semester of the curriculum (Spring)
Upper-class and transfer students
- Not maintaining an overall cumulative GPA of at least 2.000 and a GPA of at least 2.000 in the major at the end of the second academic full-term semester of the curriculum completed on campus (Fall or Spring) and at the end of each full-term academic semester thereafter (Fall, Spring)
Academic Dismissal from Major
Not maintaining a GPA of at least 2.000 in the major at the end of the third academic full-term semester and at the end of each full-term academic semester (Fall, Spring) thereafter will result in dismissal from Khoury College of Computer Sciences.
Students not following a program of study approved by the student’s academic advisor for more than one semester may be dismissed from Khoury College of Computer Sciences.
Students dismissed from their major but who are otherwise eligible to remain an active student within the university may continue within Khoury College of Computer Sciences as a transitional major for one semester.
Academic Dismissal from University
Students who remain on probation after two full-term academic semesters may be dismissed from the university. This action may appear on the transcript at the end of the second probationary semester. In addition, students who have below a 1.000 GPA or fewer than four earned semester hours in any semester or cumulatively may be dismissed at the discretion of their college. Students may appeal this decision to the Academic Standing Committee of their college. International students should consult with an advisor in the Office of Global Services (OGS) to discuss the impact of an academic dismissal as it relates to nonimmigrant visa status.
