I'm with you there. 3.2 is certainly an interesting GPA to have required.

I agree 100% on this. That is why I'm not a fan of policies that set a high GPA requirement for team members. It limits access to the program for those who could need it the most.

As long as students are passing (2.0 in most cases) I'm okay with having them participating on a team. This is the policy our team has had since its inception.
