Graduate CAP: Matriculation Requirements

To begin full-time university studies, Business Track Graduate CAP students must complete the requirements of the Pre-MBA 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-MBA 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 Pre-MBA 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. This is done via attendance, participation, and enthusiasm in their courses. 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.

To successfully complete the CAP Cohort Program, Graduate CAP students must follow the “3-2-1 Policy:” A Graduate CAP student must be enrolled in Cohort for 3 sessions, earn a minimum grade of B+ 2 times, and 1 of the grades of B+ must be obtained while the student is in a Level 6 class.

To complete Cohort with the second grade of B+ while in a Level 6 class, students must also:

• Have an effort score of 1 or 2 in their Listening/Speaking and Reading/Writing courses;
• Have an average score of 73% or higher in Listening/Speaking; and
• Have an average score of 73% or higher in Reading/Writing.

Graduate CAP students are required to attend at least 80% of their classes.

• In an 8-week session, Graduate CAP students cannot miss more than 16 classes.
• In a 7-week session, Graduate CAP students cannot miss more than 14 classes.

Remember, Graduate CAP students are required to attend tutoring, as well.

Graduate CAP students must understand and follow UD’s academic honesty policies in order to be recommended for matriculation. All students receive instruction on this subject within the English for Academic Purposes 5 and Grad 6 courses at the ELI.

To begin full-time graduate studies, Graduate CAP students must complete the requirements for Level 6 Listening and Speaking for Graduate Programs (L/S Grad 6) and Level 6 Reading and Writing for Graduate Programs (R/W Grad 6).
