Grades and Credits

Although the team instructors for each course grade exams together, students' final letter grades are assigned by the professor from their home institution, as outlined below

Washburn Law J.D. Students

The final letter grade will be assigned by the co-professor from an ABA-accredited law school (usually from Washburn Law) using Washburn Law Grading Guidelines for upper-level courses.

 

Other U.S.-based J.D. Students

The final letter grade will be assigned by the co-professor from an ABA-accredited law school (usually from Washburn Law) using Washburn Law Grading Guidelines for upper-level courses. However, credits typically transfer as pass/fail (credit/no credit). Please seek home approval before enrolling.

University of the West Indies LL.B. Students

The final letter grade will be assigned by the UWI co-professor according to UWI grading policies.

Non-J.D. Students Enrolled Through Washburn Law

The final letter grade will be assigned by the co-professor from an ABA-accredited law school (usually from Washburn Law) using Washburn Law Grading Guidelines for upper-level courses. The student's home institution will determine whether and how to accept grades and credits under its own guidelines. Please seek home approval before enrolling.

"The Washburn study abroad program was a chance for me to live, study, and soak up the majestic island of Barbados. Of course the beaches were breathtaking but I was astonished by the people, history, and culture of this Caribbean gem. Barbados was hands down my best decision since starting law school. Some of the highlights from my time in Barbados were one-on-one time with professors, dynamic classroom discussions with the U.W.I. students, lifetime friendships, and personal development." - Jorden Ryan, '13
