Continuance Standards
The College of William and Mary
Post-Baccalaureate Program in Classical Studies
Enrollment and Continuance Policy
Full Time Enrollment:
Full Time students must register for a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 11 credits. To register for an underload, students must petition the Department of Classical Studies.
Satisfactory Progress and Continuance Policy:
All courses each semester must be completed with at least a 3.0 grade point average, and with no individual course grade lower than B-. To be eligible to receive the certificate, all students must achieve a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in all courses undertaken for credit at William & Mary after admission to the program. No credit toward the certificate will be allowed for a course in which a student receives a grade below C (grade point = 2.0). If a student does not meet these standards, that student will be issued an academic warning in writing. If the student’s performance does not improve to meet the above standards during the subsequent semester, that student will be suspended from the program. Academic warnings and suspensions will be determined and handled by the Department of Classical Studies.
In the case of post-baccalaureate students attending the Program more than one year, the faculty reviews annually how well they have progressed toward completion of their Certificate. The department provides written guidance to help students judge their own progress.
Withdrawals:
Post-baccalaureate students are subject to the College of William and Mary’s Academic Regulations as described in the Undergraduate Course Catalog with the following modifications:
A student who wishes to withdraw from a course after the conclusion of the add/drop period must request course withdrawal from the Program Director, provided they continue to meet the Program’s minimum course requirements (6 credits and one course in Greek or Latin). Exceptions must be requested in writing and must be approved by the Program Director. If a student wishes to withdraw from the Program, they must request it in writing and obtain approval from the Department of Classical Studies.
