Grade Point Average
Students who do not meet the G.P.A. requirement requirement
for admissions may request consideration under the alternate admissions
standard by placing a letter of request in their admission folder.
The letter should state convincingly what caused the student to
get into G.P.A. difficulty, what steps the student has taken to
rectify the situation, and why the admission committee should consider
taking this student over other students who have maintained an adequate
grade point average. Students not achieving a cumulative 2.75 GPA
may provide an alternate 2.75 GPA calculation which is based upon
the last 30 semester credits completed (or quarter hour equivalent).
In determining the 30 credits, all course credit from any given
semester (or quarter) will be included in the calculation.
Accomodations for Special Needs
Writing Clearance Exam Students with a documented disability
may request accomodations for the exam (e.g. setting, length of
time, etc.)
Coursework Students with a documented disability may request accomodations
for exams and assignments undertaken as a normal part of course
work at WSU (e.g. setting, length of time, etc.)
- B in ENG 111
- B in CMST 191
- C in MATH 100 Students with a documented disability may request
accomodations for exams and assignments undertaken in the "core"
courses where a minimum grade is required for admission. Since
accomodations are made within course work, no additional exception
to the required minimum grades is extended.
Teacher Education Applicants are expected to meet the 2.75 G.P.A.
by either the cumulative route or utilizing the alternate calculation
based on the most recent 30 semester hours. Since accomodations
are made within course work, no additional exception to a low grade
point average is extended.
Students with additional questions about accomodations for requirements
should contact the Dean of the College of Education at 507-457-5570,
or by email at vbelter@winona.edu
