A Note from Dr. Brower: Midterm Grades

Dear Parents & Families of our Delhi students:

Midterm grades are not “transcripted” grades – in other words, they do not appear on a student’s transcript, but they are a good indicator of how your student is doing this semester.  Your student will be able to view final grades online at the end of the semester.

Although our hope is that all our students are successful, I must advise you that first semester students carrying 18 or fewer credits will be dismissed if the student's GPA is below a 1.30, or a D average at the end of this semester.

Students are advised that the academic calendar is available on the SUNY Delhi website under MyDelhiStudent (across the top of the page), and that it is their responsibility to check it.

Please remind your student to view their midterm grades online and discuss their grades with them.  Students are also encouraged to meet with their academic advisors and instructors throughout the academic year to discuss their academic progress.

Sincerely,

David C. Brower, Ph.D., CHE
Provost & Vice President for Academic Programs and Services
