The basis upon which course work is graded is determined by the individual professor. All work for any
course must be completed before the end of the term.
The impact on the grade point average of "F" or "WF" may be removed by retaking the course. The "F"
or "WF" will appear on the transcript, but the new grade will replace the first grade in the grade point
average. "W" and "WP" grades have no impact on grade point average.
Any grade below a B- is a failing grade and will earn 0 points in the DMin program.
