Graduate CAP: Matriculation Requirements

To begin full-time university studies, Business Track Graduate CAP students must complete the requirements of the Business Program, which consist of two listening/Speaking and one Reading/Writing course (and their prerequisites, if the student is placed at a lower level upon entering the program.)

Listening/Speaking
1. Graduate CAP Business students must complete Advanced Business Case Studies (ABCS) with grades of B or higher in both classes and have an effort grade of 1 or 2 in both classes.

Reading/Writing
1. In R/W Grad 6, the student must pass the course with a grade of B or higher and have an effort score of 1 or 2.

Successfully Completing the CAP Cohort Program
In addition to completing the CAP requirements of the Business Program, Business Track Graduate CAP students in levels 5-6 also must participate actively in a special program called CAP Cohort. This class meets at least twice a week for an hour and is required for CAP students.

Besides the requirements listed above, Graduate CAP students must satisfy any other objective required by their graduate program as part of their conditional admission.

To verify whether you have other requirements for your conditional admission, check the acceptance letter that you received from your graduate program and/or contact the graduate department that gave you the conditional admission. You may also contact the CAP Admissions Team at CAPadmissions@udel.edu.

Students must also prove their readiness for university study through showing consistently strong effort in their courses. The effort score is based on attendance, punctuality, engagement, interaction and behavior. Graduate CAP students must achieve an effort score of 1 (excellent) or 2 (satisfactory) in their courses during their final session at ELI.

Graduate CAP students are required to successfully complete the CAP Cohort program before beginning their university coursework.

Students must earn a grade of B in Cohort. They must also meet the following requirements:

• Have an effort score of 1 or 2 in their Listening/Speaking and Reading/Writing courses;
