1. About Wenzhou-Kean University

Wenzhou-Kean in Zhejiang Province, China, has now reached the end of its seventh year of full

operation. Student numbers have grown from a class of 205 in Fall 2012 to 2159 students in spring

2019. Wenzhou-Kean had its first commencement in May 2016 with over 180 students graduated.

In May 2017, over 200 students graduated at its second commencement in Wenzhou, China. In

June 2018, more than 380 students graduated at its third commencement in Wenzhou. The student

body is currently comprised mostly of Chinese nationals, with visiting U.S. nationals from the

main Kean campus and international students from Tanzania, Malaysia and U.S. In the first year,

recruitment was from Zhejiang Province. In subsequent years, recruitment has expanded to eleven

additional provinces of China. However, for the academic year 2017-2018, the university

expanded recruitment to Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan. All Chinese nationals are recruited

through the Chinese National College Entrance Examination. Wenzhou-Kean admits Tier 1 (the

top tier) from this examination. In addition, a very small number of students are admitted

contingently from Tier 2. The rest of the students are recruited through an alternate admission

process referred to as “3-in-1.”

The number of majors and opportunities for study has grown from an original four majors, in

Accounting, Finance, English in a Global Setting and Computer Science, to 14 majors in

Marketing, Global Business, Graphic Design, Psychology, Management, Architectural Studies,

Mathematical Science and Biology. Kean courses are offered either by Kean faculty contracted to

the Wenzhou site or by Kean faculty visiting from the U.S. campus.

All entering freshmen are required to participate in an English Intensive Preparatory Program

prior to the start of classes. Rising sophomores also have the opportunity to attend the English

Immersion Program at Kean University’s main campus. Finally, Wenzhou-Kean students may take

one to two semesters at Kean’s Union campus starting in their junior year.

In the first year of operation (2012-2013), Kean held classes and housed students using space

within Wenzhou University, as a collaboration between the two institutions. In the second year,

Kean moved into its own campus with a general education building for all classes, administrative

support offices and conference rooms, a dining hall and the first residence halls and faculty

housing. This group of buildings constituted Phase 1 of the campus building project. Phase 2 was

completed in Fall 2015 with new residence halls for all incoming and current students. College of

Business and Public Management Building and faculty housing were brought into operation in Jan.

2018. Athletics Center has opened in Spring 2018. The second student dormitory area and Michael

Graves College building will be completed in 2019, and the Student Learning and Activity

(Library) will be completed in 2020. In 2013, the Middle States Commission for Higher Education

affirmed Wenzhou-Kean as an additional location of Kean University. In 2014, following the

successful completion of the “in preparation” probationary period, the Chinese Ministry of

Education announced the approval of the establishment of Wenzhou-Kean University, making it

the first Chinese-United States cooperative university in the Zhejiang province and the second in

China. The Chinese Ministry of Education granted approval for Wenzhou-Kean graduates to

receive dual bachelor degree certificates from Kean University and Wenzhou-Kean in addition to a

Chinese graduation certificate from Wenzhou-Kean, thereby achieving compliance with relevant

regulations in China. In 2018, the Bachelor Degree Conferral Evaluation Panel concluded that

Wenzhou-Kean University possesses the qualifications to confer Baccalaureate degrees of the

following six academic programs: Finance, Marketing, Global Business, Computer Science,

English and Graphic Design.

4. Chinese National Conditions & Culture

(CNCC), Art and PE Curriculum

As a teaching unit of Wenzhou-Kean University, Chinese Curricula Center is responsible for

the establishing of Chinese curricular system required by M.O.E, China (with Mandarin as

course instructional language) and its implementation. Chinese curricula consist of Chinese

National Conditions & Culture (CNCC) Education, Art Education (A.E.) and Physical

Education (P.E.), whose total credits account for roughly 10% of overall WKU curriculum.

The Center also provides professional instructions regarding arts and sports.

For more course information, please visit Wenzhou-Kean University website at

http://www.wku.edu.cn/en/org/ccc

5. Minor Programs

Wenzhou-Kean University offers a wide variety of minor programs that focus on specific

areas of study. A minor is an optional program taken in addition to the major program of

study in order to complement or augment the major, or to develop a second concentration of

study. Career opportunities or professional competence may be enhanced through completion

of a minor program. Students should consult with their advisors for information about

integration of minors with their major programs.

A minor consists of a minimum of 18 semester hours. A minor may be in a single academic

discipline or (effective Fall 2014) may be interdisciplinary in nature. If a minor is in a single

academic discipline, students majoring in that academic discipline may not minor in that same

discipline.

The content of each minor is prescribed by an academic program and may or may not include

electives. A minimum of six semester hours must be from upper division, 3000-4000 level

courses. Only courses with a “C” (2.0) grade or better may be applied to the minor. Some

minor programs have additional minimum grade and/or minimum GPA requirements.

No more than one-half of the credits for the minor may be transferred from another

institution. No more than one-half of the credits for a minor may be from courses that are

being used to fulfill major requirements (including second major requirements). Note that

duplicate credit is not awarded in cases where a course is fulfilling more than one type of

requirement.

Effective Fall 2016, students seeking admission to minor programs should use the

Major/Minor Status Change Form available online in the Forms and Policies section of the

Registrar's website . The completed form must be signed by the Executive Director,

Chairperson, or Coordinator responsible for the minor program and then submitted to the

Office of the Registrar.

At the time of filing for graduation, the academic Department or School offering the minor

program must verify and sign off that all requirements are met. Verification of the completion

of the minor must then be filed with the Registrar’s Office. Minors will be designated on

students’ transcripts.

6. Academic Standards, Policies, and Procedures

6.1 Academic Advisement

The University views academic advisement as an important aspect of the academic

experience. Students may receive individual advisement as follows:

New freshmen will have their initial and first semester advisement and registration

coordinated through the School of General Studies (SGS) as part of their Transition to

WenZhou-Kean (T2K) experience. For more information call 0577-55870163.

Starting with the second semester, all matriculated students must seek advisement through

their major Department or School.

New transfer, second baccalaureate degree and readmitted students are directed to seek

advisement through their major Department or School.

Undecided/Undeclared Majors - Students who are neither officially intended nor declared

with an academic major are considered undecided, and are advised by faculty and staff most

appropriate for their academic interest

6.2 Academic Honors

Dean’s List

Superior academic achievement is recognized by appointment to the Dean’s List for

undergraduate matriculated students. Each student awarded Dean’s List honors receives a

personal letter of congratulations; this academic achievement is also noted on the student’s

transcript.

Designation to the Dean’s List is available to both full-time and part-time undergraduate

matriculated students, according to the criteria given below.

Full-time students: The Dean’s List is announced twice a year for full-time students, at the

end of each fall and spring semester. To qualify, the student must be matriculated and must

have earned a semester grade point average of 3.45 or better for at least 12 credit hours (not

including courses taken on the pass/fail option). All courses completed in the semester must

have been passed for earned credit. Any student with a grade of “Incomplete” cannot be

considered eligible for the Dean’s List.

83

Part-time students: The Dean’s list is announced once a year for part-time students, at the end

of each spring semester. To qualify, the student must be matriculated and must have earned a

grade point average of 3.45 or better for the regular academic year (combination of fall and

spring semesters only) for at least 12 credit hours (not including courses taken on the pass/fail

option). All courses completed in the regular academic year must have been passed for earned

credit. Any student with a grade of “Incomplete” cannot be considered eligible for the Dean’s

list.

Graduation with Honors

Students graduating with a cumulative grade point average of 3.45 or better, and who have

completed a minimum of 45 semester hours at WenZhou-Kean(excluding credits earned on a

Pass/Fail or a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis) by the end of the first semester of their senior

year are recognized with anticipated honors. Any candidate with a grade of “Incomplete”

cannot be considered eligible for honors until the grade has been changed. The actual honors

designation will appear on both the diploma and the final transcript. Designations are as

follows:

Average of 3.85-4.00 Summa cum laude

Average of 3.65-3.84 Magna cum laude

Average of 3.45-3.64 Cum laude

Academic honors are awarded based upon completion of the final semester. In order to

participate in the Commencement Ceremony with honors and be eligible to receive a gold

tassel, the above requirements must be met by the end of the first semester of senior year

(usually fall semester or end of winter break semester following fall semester).

6.3 Access to Education Records (FERPA)

Introduction

Wenzhou-Kean University collects data and information about students in order to facilitate

their educational development. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of

1974 and the Higher Education Amendments of 1998 delineate the rights of students to be

informed of the existence of this information, to have access to it, and the conditions under

which information about students may be disclosed to others. A copy of the Family

Educational Rights and Privacy Act is available in the Office of the Registrar. The material

below specifies the Wenzhou-Kean University policy and procedures for complying with

FERPA. All employees of the University who handle student records are bound by the

Wenzhou-Kean policy and procedures.

84

6.4 Academic Probation and Dismissal

Matriculated students earning a cumulative grade point average of less than 2.0 are subject to

academic probation. A cumulative average that would place a student on academic probation

for the third time makes the student subject to dismissal from the University.

Notification of Academic Dismissal

Academic dismissal decisions are made after each academic year (after the conclusion of the

spring semester). Students dismissed from the University are notified by certified letter from

the appropriate college dean.

Also see, Reinstatement After Academic Dismissal section.

6.5 Attendance Policy

Attendance is expected in all courses. Attendance will be a component of the grade of any

course if so stated in the syllabus. Students are responsible for informing the instructor in

advance or in a timely manner of the reasons for their absence. Instructors in consultation

with their executive directors/department chairs are expected to respect University practices

and policies regarding what counts as an excused absence. Typically excused absences

include illness, bereavement or religious observances. Serious tardiness may be dealt with at

the discretion of the instructor.

Observance of a religious holiday is to be considered an excused absence from class for any

student. If a student misses a scheduled examination or other announced assignment because

of observance of a religious holiday, the student and instructor shall agree upon a mutually

convenient time as an alternate date for completion of the assignment.

6.6 Class Standing (FR/SO/JR/SR)

Student standing is determined by the cumulative number of credits earned and is set at the

following levels:

Freshman - maximum of 28.5 earned credits

Sophomore - minimum of 29 to maximum of 55.5 earned credits

Junior - minimum of 56 to maximum of 89.5 earned credits

Senior - minimum of 90 earned credits

http://kean.smartcatalogiq.com/en/2018-2019/Undergraduate-Catalog/Academic-Standards-Policies-and-Procedures/Reinstatement-After-Academic-Dismissal

85

6.7 Course Numbering System

Courses carrying 1000 and 2000 numbers are lower division offerings, usually appropriate for

the freshman and sophomore years of undergraduate study. Courses numbered at the 3000

and 4000 levels are upper division offerings, usually appropriate for the junior and senior

years of undergraduate study.

In general, the following course numbering system is applied (X=digit from 0-9):

0XXX Developmental or supplemental level, providing foundations in basic skills,

no degree credit granted, credits do not count towards GPA calculation.

1XXX Introductory level, broad-based in nature, prerequisites usually not necessary.

2XXX Intermediate level, the second course in a discipline, one prerequisite

sometimes necessary.

3XXX-4XXX Advanced levels, providing greater depth in a more defined area of

scholarship, one or more prerequisites generally necessary.

5XXX Graduate level.

6XXX Graduate level.

7XXX Graduate level

8XXX Graduate level

6.8 Course Load

Course load limitations apply to work taken at both Wenzhou-Kean University and at other

institutions of higher education.

Fall and Spring Semesters

Full-time students: The normal course load is 16 credits per semester with a minimum of 12

credits per semester and a maximum of 18 credits per semester.

Summer Session

Unless prior approval has been given through the dean’s office, students may register for a

maximum of seven credits or two courses, whichever is greater, in each summer session.

Winter Session

Unless prior approval has been given through the dean’s office, students may register for a

maximum of one course in the winter session.

86

6.9 Grade Point Average

The student’s overall academic standing is indicated by a grade point average. The grade

point average is determined by dividing the total grade points earned by the total number of

semester hours calculated. Numerical points for each letter follow: A = 4.0; A- = 3.7; B+ =

3.3; B = 3.0; B- = 2.7; C+ = 2.3; C = 2.0; D = 1.0; F = 0. The cumulative average is

determined only on courses taken at Wenzhou-Kean University.

Omissions or errors in grade compilation should immediately be reported to the Office of the

Registrar. Questions regarding letter grades assigned by an instructor should be discussed

directly with the instructor as soon as possible and no later than the last day of the eighth

week of the subsequent major (fall or spring) semester. This timeline does not apply to

graduating seniors; change of grades must be completed no later than two weeks after the

graduation date. Example: For May degree candidates the change of grade must be completed

no later than two weeks after the May ceremony; for January and August candidates, no later

than the end of the month. A change of grade will not be permitted after the baccalaureate

degree has been posted.

6.10 Grade Recalculation (Repeating Courses for Grade

Recalculation)

Undergraduate courses taken by undergraduate matriculated students are eligible for repeat

under this policy. Beginning with Fall 1987 Semester, courses completed with grades of A-/

B+/ B/ B-/ C+/ C/ D/ F/AF may be repeated. Graduate courses cannot be considered for grade

recalculation.

Guidelines:

1. If the grade in the repeated course is higher, it will be included in the GPA. The former

grade will be designated with an “R” prefix to the grade on the student transcript and

excluded from GPA. If the grade in the repeated course is the same or lower, both grades

will remain in the GPA. Course credits are earned one time.

2. Only four (4) repeated courses or twelve (12) credits, whichever is greater, may be

excluded from the GPA.

3. A course grade may not be recalculated more than once.

4. The request for recalculation of the GPA must be submitted after the course has been

repeated. Once elected, this option may not be changed nor revoked.

87

5. All courses submitted for consideration under this policy must be Wenzhou-Kean

University courses. No transfer credit can be considered in the recalculation of the GPA.

(Transfer credit is not included in Wenzhou-Kean University GPA.)

6. Students may neither repeat a course for grade recalculation after graduation nor submit a

Request for Grade Recalculation after graduation.

6.11 Grading System

The letter grading system listed below was effective beginning with the Fall 1990 semester.

The student’s academic standing in every course is reported at the end of each semester by a

letter grade. Credit is granted for the following:

A Excellent

A-

B+

B Good

B-

C+

C Fair

D Poor

P Pass (Pass/Fail option, supplemental university instruction credit courses and

developmental courses)

S Satisfactory (Student teaching and related field experience)*

No credit is granted for the following:

F Fail

U Fail (Pass/Fail option, student teaching and related field experience,* supplemental

university instruction credit courses and developmental courses)

AF Fail (administratively assigned, student stopped attending but did not drop the class)

IN Incomplete Work

IP Incomplete Work (Pass/Fail)

IC Incomplete Work (CG/NC)

88

W Withdrawn

AU Audit

R( ) Repeated grade

NA Never Attended

NR

No Record

*Student teaching is graded as “S” or “U.” Credits for student teaching are not used in

computing the cumulative grade point average.

X( ) indicates Academic Amnesty granted, where courses and grades no longer count toward

the academic program (see Academic Amnesty for additional information).

6.12 Minor Program Requirements

1. A minor shall consist of a minimum of 18 semester hours. A minor may be in a single

academic discipline or (effective Fall 2014) may be interdisciplinary in nature. If a minor

is in a single academic discipline, students majoring in that academic discipline may not

minor in that same discipline.

2. Content is to be prescribed by an academic program and may or may not include electives.

3. A minimum of six semester hours must be from upper division, 3000-4000 level courses.

4. No more than one-half of the credits for a minor may be transferred from another

institution.

5. No more than one-half of the credits for a minor may be from courses that are being used

to fulfill major requirements (including second major requirements). Note that duplicate

credit is not awarded in cases where a course is fulfilling more than one type of

requirement.

6. Departments or Schools will provide guide sheets for minor programs to students.

7. Effective Fall 2016, students seeking admission to minor programs should use

the Major/Minor Status Change Form (available online in the Forms and Policies section

of the Office of the Registrar's website). The completed form must be signed by the

Executive Director, Chairperson, or Coordinator responsible for the minor program and

then submitted to the Office of the Registrar.

8. At the time of filing for graduation, the academic Department or School must verify and

sign off that all requirements for the minor are met. Verification of the completion of the

minor must then be filed with the Registrar’s Office.
