- Earn a minimum 2.7 GPA each term, and
- Earn a minimum cumulative 2.7 GPA to complete the program.
Relay reviews students’ complete academic records at the end of each academic term to determine whether they are meeting the standards of progress shown in the table below. To view Academic Honors for students who started their program prior to the Summer 2023 term, view this policy.

Every term, students receive end-of-term notifications of academic standing. Students should consistently monitor their progress in a course on Canvas throughout the term by using “What If” scenarios. Please note that students who have no failed courses and are granted one or more incompletes will have their academic status noted as pending incomplete coursework and will be informed of their term academic status upon resolution of all outstanding incompletes. The vast majority of students remain in good standing for the entirety of their time at Relay. However, students who are on academic probation for any reason have one term in which to return to satisfactory academic standing; failure to do so results in a program dismissal from Relay.
