The academic progress of all students at Wilmington College is reviewed at the conclusion of each semester in order to determine the academic standing of each student. Good standing is determined by the following criteria:
- The student must average 12 earned credit hours with passing grades of "D" or better during full-time semesters* enrolled at Wilmington College. (However, credits earned summer session count toward good standing even if the student is taking less than 12 credit hours)
AND - The student must complete EN101 or EN103H (and EN100, if required) with a grade of "C-" or better. Students earning a grade lower than “C-“ [including drops after the drop/add period noted with the grade of “W” (Withdrawal)] in EN100, EN101, or EN103H will be required to repeat the course. Students will work with Student Success team and their Advisor to determine when the class(es) will be repeated. Students earning lower than a “C-“ in EN100, EN101, or EN103H following the second attempt* [including drops after the drop/add period noted with grade of “W” ] are placed on academic probation and will be required to repeat the course. Students will work with Student Success team and their Advisor to determine when the class(es) will be repeated. Students earning a grade lower than “C-“ following the third attempt [including drops after the drop/add period noted with grade of “W”] are subject to immediate academic suspension.
AND - The student must have a minimum cumulative GPA of:
1.80 at close of first semester at Wilmington College
2.00 at close of all subsequent semesters.
Students who are enrolled regularly on a part-time basis* will be considered in good standing if they pass courses for which they receive recorded grades on the following basis:
- First 8 earned cumulative Wilmington credits recorded pass at least 4 credits.
- 9 to 15 earned cumulative credits recorded pass at least 8 credits.
- 16 or more earned cumulative Wilmington credits recorded pass at least two thirds of all credits attempted.
