Students who have completed 30 or more credits and have maintained a grade point average of 2.00 will be accepted as full-time students. Students who have completed fewer than 30 credits will be required to provide high school transcripts and appropriate test scores in support of their petition to enroll full-time before a decision will be made. Advanced Placement Credit Wilkes University encourages students to work to their full capacity and to advance as rapidly as appropriate in their academic work. A number of opportunities are open to qualified high school juniors and seniors, as well as to adults returning to school after an interval of work or military experience, to demonstrate competence beyond that normally associated with graduation from high school. Academic credit may be granted for such demonstrated competence through a variety of channels.
Credit means that the student receives credit toward the hours required for graduation.
No grades are assigned to the courses for which the student receives advanced placement credit. Information on specific course examinations and credit may be obtained from the Office of Admissions. Credit for Military Experience Students who have completed the special educational programs offered by branches of the American armed services may be granted academic credit for this coursework. Such students should submit an official transcript of their work as part of the admissions process. Transcripts will be evaluated according to the guidelines provided by the American Council on Education, and credits granted will be applied to the degree program as appropriate.
