Grading System

Wilmington University utilizes a plus/minus grading system in assessing student achievement. Table 1 (Undergraduate) and Table 2 (Graduate) specifies grades that are used and the corresponding quality points awarded for each credit hour in which students are enrolled. Selected programs require a minimum of “C-” for passing.

"I" Grade for Incomplete Work

An "incomplete" may be granted with prior approval of the course instructor. The student must complete course work within 60 days following the end of the grading period for the course. After 60 days, incomplete ("I") grades are converted to a grade of "F" unless the student arranges for an additional extension and the instructor notifies the Office of the Registrar before the initial 60-day period expires.

Pass/Fail Option

Students may gain approval from Academic Advising to enroll in selected courses on a pass/fail basis. This option is limited to two courses beyond the 15 credit hours permitted for internships. Students will then follow established registration procedures, clearly stating at the time of registration which course is selected as the pass/fail option. Course work is graded "S" (Satisfactory) or "U" (Unsatisfactory).
