Once we have received your paper and payment, we will send your paper to one of our qualified graduate facilitators and they will grade the paper according to the rubric. The grade that you receive on your paper will be the final grade you receive in the course. Once the final grade has been assigned, you will receive a letter in the mail confirming your grade for the course. The course and grade will be reported to Wilkes University in September and will appear on your transcript as a fall course.

This is a limited time opportunity. Agreement forms must be completed and submitted by August 15, 2008. The application, paper, and payment must be submitted by August 31, 2008.
