Full-time Students:

For students who are enrolled regularly on a full-time basis, academic progress is reviewed at the conclusion of each fall and spring semester.  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:

    1. 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 during summer session count toward good standing even if the student is taking less than 12 credit hours) AND
    2. 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 a grade lower than “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
    3. The student must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 1.80 at close of first semester at Wilmington College and 2.00 at close of all subsequent semesters.

Full-time students may elect to enroll in the summer session part-time basis.  Students who elect to do so will also be reviewed at the end of the summer semester to determine academic standing. 

  1. Students in good academic standing whose cumulative GPA falls below a 2.0 during the summer semester will be placed on Academic Probation. 
  2. Students on probation who have averaged 12 hours or higher AND whose cumulative GPA is a 2.0 or higher at the end of the summer semester will return to good academic standing.  Students who do not meet these criteria will remain on probation.

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:

  1.  The student must pass 67 percent of attempted Wilmington College credits AND
