GRADING The grading scale for the MBA Program will is available in the Program Guide.

Courses Repeated: A student may take any course for credit if he or she has met the prerequisites for the course and has not already taken the course and received a grade of B or better. When a course is repeated, both the first grade received and the grade earned in the repeated course remain a part of the permanent record; however, only the highest grade is used in computing the academic quotient. Additional credit is not given in cases where the original grade of the course repeated was C. A student who wishes to repeat a course must have the written permission of the Dean of Graduate and Professional Studies.

Incompletes: All MBA courses except BUS 597 will follow the current Waynesburg University Catalog, which states: The mark I, is given if the work of the course is satisfactory but not completed, and may be removed by completing the unfinished work. Under no consideration, however, is the mark, I, given to a student whose work has been below the passing grade C. Such student is given the grade F. Incompletes are not given except in the case of extenuating circumstances (such as serious illness or death in the family).

The student is responsible for filing a Request for Incomplete Grade form available through the Office of the Registrar. Incompletes must be made up in the first six weeks of the semester following the one in which the work reported incomplete is taken. An incomplete not so made up will be changed to F. BUS 597 has guidelines for incompletes as follows: A student enrolled in BUS 597, Individual Study, may, because of the nature of his or her study, be unable to complete all work in a semester or within the normal “incomplete” period. Therefore, for an incomplete in this class, an I grade will be carried by the Registrar for a period of one (1) calendar year from the date
