Undergraduate Earned Credit Policy

Undergraduate credit is earned for a course only when the student is issued a grade of “D-” (0.700) or better, except for those specific courses, or their substitute(s), in which a grade of “C” (2.000) or better is required. All grades from Walsh undergraduate coursework will be used to compute the student’s undergraduate cumulative and major grade point average, with the exception of those grades that have been replaced under the Course Repeat Policy. Grades replaced under this policy will be excluded from the cumulative and major grade point average.

Undergraduate students may enroll in approved graduate level (500 or 600 level) courses for up to 12 semester credit hours. All graduate courses taken and grades received under this status will be reflected on the student’s undergraduate transcript and will be used in computing the student’s cumulative grade point average for purposes of graduation. Students are responsible for paying graduate-level tuition and course fees. Please note that students cannot switch from the undergraduate version of a course to the graduate version of the course after the add/drop period ends in any given semester.

An undergraduate student who wishes to take a graduate course to fulfill their undergraduate degree requirements should contact the Admissions and Academic Advising office to determine if the course may be applied as advanced standing to any Walsh graduate degree program.
